A piece of Seattle history, designed by local architects the Moniz? & inspired by Japanese minimalistic design from the entry stone garden pathway to the skylight centerpiece inspired by traditional shoji panels to the use of wood, stone and bamboo throughout the property. The importance of harmony with nature, another ideal of Japanese architecture, is illustrated throughout from the natural light flooding through the walls of windows, the terraced back yard & patio and the mature, lush landscaping. The structure and surrounding grounds are truly a marriage of manmade material and the natural. Nestled in the idyllic Matthews Beach neighborhood & adjacent to the Burke Gilman, one would be hard pressed to find a home comparable to this one.
