3704 48th Avenue NE

Seattle, WA 98105

For decades, this has been one of Laurelhurst’s most recognized, yet least accessible home. Now, for the first time in half of a century, it is available. Set on an extraordinary lot, totalling over 34,000 square feet, This distinguished property offers a scale and privacy that are increasingly rare. Elevated above Lake Washington with sweeping views to Mount Rainier, it feels both expansive and secluded. Framed by mature evergreens, stone walls, and layered gardens that create an immediate sense of calm from the moment you arrive. The home itself is a timeless mid-century rambler, designed by Lionel H Pries for effortless living. Live all on one level, with street-level entry and level entry two-car garage, it delivers a floor plan that is as rare as it is desirable today. Spaces are open and intuitive, with three en-suite bedrooms and expansive living areas that extend naturally toward the view. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, allowing light, water, and landscape to define everyday living.
