Built by a Dutch ship captain as a vacation home, this Tudor cottage is truly one-of-a-kind. Located in a coveted neighborhood on University Place’s West Slope, this home is graced with special details such as hand-carved wood beams and wide plank hardwood floors.
Perhaps most memorable are the 180 degree views of the Puget Sound. The neighborhood enjoys close proximity to the Curran Apple Orchard and Chambers Bay Golf Course (which, if you haven’t heard, is the home of the 2015 US Open!) University Place is also known for its highly-rated schools and now, the new Whole Foods at the UP Town Center.
The well designed yard affords plenty of sunny and shady spaces to take in the water views. My favorite might be the porch swing just off of the kitchen. Shaded by an arbor covered in sweet-smelling wisteria, this is the perfect place to watch the sunset. If you prefer a lawn, there is a level grassy space to play out front. Out back there are apple trees from the original estate, and a brick patio accented by climbing roses.
Every inch of this home has been restored, from the practical (updated electrical and plumbing, lifetime metal roof, tankless hot water heater) to the cosmetic, with an expanded kitchen and double pane wood windows. Each level has at least one bedroom & renovated bath — including the studio over the garage, which is a great hideaway for guests!
You simply must see this home to understand how special it is. Come after dinner and enjoy some of the prettiest sunsets the Northwest has to offer.
