4717 Beach Drive SW

A private waterfront reveal on West Seattle’s coveted Beach Drive. Built in 2023, this architectural home reads as a sculptural cedar-clad form from the street—minimal, restrained, and intentionally discreet behind cedar privacy screen slats and a secure gate. Step inside and everything shifts. A dramatic 2-story living room with a Fleetwood window wall slider opens to sweeping views of Puget Sound & the Olympic Mountains, w/ a deck just off the main level for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Anchored by a Danish wood stove, the space feels both modern & warmly grounded. The adjoining kitchen pairs walnut cabinetry, induction cooking, and high-end European appliances with clean architectural lines that keep the focus on the view. From the shoreline, the home becomes open and fully in conversation with the Sound. Nearly 40 feet of waterfront with tideland rights and deeded buoy bring paddleboarding, wildlife, and sunsets into daily life. A skylit staircase leads to a lofted den and a primary suite with floor-to-ceiling water views and spa bath featuring Moroccan plaster shower and view soaking tub. A second bedroom opens to a Zen balcony. The lower level includes a third bedroom and separate flex space—each with its own glass garage door for true inside-out living. Multiple decks, native landscaping, water-view sauna, & 2 secured parking spaces behind the gate. Close to Lincoln Park, Alki, & the Alaska Junction. Architectural. Intentional. A luminous retreat at the shoreline.
