Set on more than two private acres overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, this extraordinary Highlands estate is a rare union of architectural significance, historic landscape design, and timeless luxury. Its story begins in 1927, when the Olmsted Brothers designed the estate's celebrated gardens and grounds. In 1934, renowned architect Harrie T. Lindeberg completed the residence, one of only two he designed in the Pacific Northwest. Meticulously restored in 2023, the home was reimagined by New York designer Clive Lonstein and later featured in Architectural Digest. Interiors blend historic character with modern comfort through hand-plastered walls, bespoke millwork, radiant heated floors, Waterworks fixtures, Loro Piana drapery, Hermès and hand-painted wallcoverings, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Outside, mature gardens, natural spring-fed ponds, sweeping lawns, a spectacular rose garden, and elegant terraces frame panoramic views while creating an extraordinary setting for entertaining or quiet retreat. Nearly a century in the making, this is one of the Pacific Northwest's most important legacy estates, offering an unrivaled combination of provenance, privacy, and enduring design.

About The
Highlands
The Highlands, located between Richmond Beach and Shoreline Community College, is a residential and hillside Shoreline neighborhood with sweeping Sound-facing slopes and a patchwork of mid-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Aurora Avenue N and N 145th Street corridor, where taquerias, pho counters, barbershops, and small markets keep the sidewalks in motion. Ranch houses and split-levels sit on curving streets, with pockets of newer townhomes near major arterials. Shoreline Community College adds a steady campus rhythm and public events. Boeing Creek Park’s forested trails and ravines shape daily routes. Views open west toward Puget Sound as the terrain rises and falls.
