Authentic Mid-Century Modern designed by renowned Pacific Northwest architect Paul Hayden Kirk, a defining force of the Northwest Modern movement and frequent Sunset Magazine contributor. This architectural gem offers approx. 3,300 sq ft of single-level living with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, thoughtfully designed for seamless indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Signature elements include extensive use of cedar and fir, slate flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows to harvest natural light, and wide roof overhangs that protect from the elements while enhancing the home’s connection to nature.Situated on a private corner lot just shy of ½ acre, the setting provides exceptional privacy and tranquility. Custom built in 1954 for a local dentist, the home featured rare, ahead-of-its-time amenities—including a three-car garage, uncommon for its era. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully enhanced, the property has had only two owners, each a careful steward of its architectural significance. Every detail reflects timeless design, craftsmanship, and harmony with the landscape. This is more than a home—it is a true architectural legacy and a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Northwest Modern history.
