18600 4th Avenue SW

Originally built in 1961 by industrial designer Don Ellingson, this showpiece carries a true Atomic Ranch vibe. Classic MCM composition: low, horizontal & intentionally connected to its surrounding landscape. A thorough interior & exterior remodel, thoughtfully preserving the home’s architectural soul while elevating details for modern living. Inside, the original tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings soar above main living spaces. Sunlight pours through wide windows & stretches across hickory floors. Beautifully designed open floorplan connects the favorite gathering spots: kitchen, living, & dining areas, into one seamless flow. From there, life naturally spills onto the outdoor deck, and into the surrounding landscape. The kitchen blends effortlessly with the layout, anchored by a high bank of cabinetry providing exceptional storage with sleek surfaces, and chef-worthy appliances; modern performance wrapped in timeless design. Subtle integrated lighting quietly highlights architectural lines and materials. Primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while the lower level yields a flexible space for guests or movie nights. Oversized 2-car garage plus workshop space for projects & hobbies. Outside, savor views of Puget Sound & Vashon Island, a daily reminder of why Normandy Park has long been one of the region’s quiet coastal gems. This isn’t just a renovation. It’s an invitation to become the next steward of a fabulous era of MCM construction thoughtfully revived for today.
