Description
Architecturally significant modern delivers sophisticated style, great light, and incredible privacy in blue chip location. Once part of the historic Denny Blaine estate, this art-lovers carriage house was re-imagined by noted NW architect George Suyama into a serene, light-flooded aerie featured on the cover of Metropolitan Home. Loft-like public spaces surround a dramatic two-story atrium featuring a floating steel staircase, massive skylight, and stained concrete flooring. Flexible layout includes master with spa-like bath, 2-3 additional bedroom or office alternatives, substantial secret garden and private, European-style outdoor living room.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from March 15, 2025

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been so happy at Garfield! The curriculum and extra curriculars are broad and great, and the teachers are fantastic. He is pushed academically, and I'm confident in the education and opportunity he's receiving, in and out of the classroom. Take a look at the college placement, and you'll get an idea of how good Garfield is. In terms of safety, my son feels very safe in the school, and I'm confident they're addressing the issues surrounding the school.Parent Review8mo ago - McGilvra Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve had two kids at McGilvra Elementary (one who started in 1st grade), and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The school community is warm, welcoming, and deeply supportive of students and families alike. The teachers are thoughtful and engaged, and the PTA does an incredible job enriching the school with programs, events, and resources that truly elevate the experience. It’s also just a cute, beautiful campus in the heart of the neighborhood a place our kids genuinely love going to every day.I should also add that the school aftercare program is excellent and well managed. Our kids love going there 2 days a week, get annoyed if we pick them up early, and come home with their homework done.Parent Review2mo ago - Edmonds S. Meany Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is my son's first year of middle school and I was uncertain how the transition from elementary school would go. Despite Meany being a large school my son seems to have adapted to the environment fairly seamlessly. The teachers seem committed and engaged and I can confidently say it has vastly exceeded my expectations. The level of academic rigor seems quite satisfactory, he's learning a lot, has made new friends and without exception they all seem to be great kids. I had a lot of angst about the start of middle school but it's been much more straightforward than I expected.Parent Review11mo ago
