6049 Princeton Avenue NE

Hawthorne Hills, Hollywood Style. Built in 1939 with a little Deco swagger, this brick-and-tile-roof residence pairs distinctive period architecture with a design-driven renovation. Curves, arches and geometric lines run throughout: an impressive arched living-room window frames the gardens, sculptural wood ceiling beams draw the eye overhead, and a sweeping dining-room bay captures Lake Washington and Cascade Mountain views. Hardwood and parquet floors, warm woodwork, divided-light windows, gas fireplaces and built-in niches give the house its character. The kitchen is outfitted with Viking appliances, Waterworks fixtures and Rejuvenation hardware, while a rounded breakfast nook with custom leather-upholstered banquette carries the home’s signature lines into the space. Three updated baths take distinctly different approaches, including a primary bath with Tadelakt Moroccan limestone shower, quartzite vanity and brass fittings. Three of the home’s four bedrooms are on the main floor. Downstairs adds another dimension, with a second gas fireplace, media room, kitchenette, wine room, bedroom and wellness-inspired spa bath—perfect for movie nights, sleepovers or private quarters for guests. Outside, gates and layered gardens with year-round interest create a private world of their own, with a custom stone patio tucked into the artfully lit landscape. Whole-house A/C, updated systems, two-car garage plus driveway parking.
