A rare opportunity to own a piece of Seattle architectural history in the heart of Wedgwood. Designed in 1948 by celebrated Seattle architects James J. Chiarelli and Paul Hayden Kirk, this distinctive Northwest Modern stunner was originally conceived as a Revere Model Home showcasing innovative postwar design with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, natural materials and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Set on an oversized, private corner lot surrounded by mature landscaping, the home still captures the vision that made it special more than 75 years ago. Walls of glass invite abundant natural light and frame the lush surroundings, while warm wood details, clean architectural lines and fantastic mid-century character establish a feeling that is timeless and wonderfully unique. A spectacular custom kitchen completed in 2021 brings modern functionality while complementing the original aesthetic. Sub Zero, Miele, and Cafe' appliances set the stage for culinary delights and are integrated into a superior design. Generous living spaces connect effortlessly to the outdoors, creating a private retreat in one of NE Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods. Special features include Mitsubishi mini splits for optimal air control, freshly refinished hardwood floors, EV charger, and new custom garage door. Architecturally significant, beautifully preserved and undeniably cool this is quintessential Pacific Northwest modernism in Wedgwood.
Wedgwood, located between Ravenna and Lake City, is a residential and village-like Seattle neighborhood with mid-century ramblers and a walkable commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 35th Ave NE and NE 75th St, where independent cafes, a classic movie house, and everyday shops line the sidewalks. The Wedgwood Broiler, Grand Illusion Cinema, and Third Place Books anchor local routines with steakhouse tradition, repertory screenings, and author-filled shelves. Side streets mix tidy postwar homes with mature trees and small gardens. Dahl Playfield and nearby Ravenna Park add open lawns and wooded trails. A steady bus corridor along 35th keeps the pace connected without changing the calm blocks.
