Description
This inviting three-level home, designed by revered Seattle architect Ellsworth Storey, was built in 1908. An extensive remodel in 2001 created a setting for comfortable contemporary living while preserving the original character of the house. The renovation, which garnered recognition in Remodeling magazine, gave the home an open floor plan, an updated kitchen with an adjoining family room and a terrific master suite.A terraced front yard with rockery and lovely plantings provides a pleasing approach. Steps lead up to a house that blends classical architectural elements with the shingle style, a trademark of the architect. Classical elements include a symmetrical facade, a wide center gable, and a porch with columns and an arched pediment. A panel of windows flanks an elegant Palladian window on the second level. Walls clad in dark-stained cedar shingles are paired with crisp white trim. An original brick terrace in front of the house connects with gated pathways along either side the house leading to the back yard.A paneled door with a leaded glass insert and flanking sidelights opens to a generous-sized living room. Here and throughout the main level, floors are cherry and ceilings are trimmed with crown molding. A wood-burning fireplace retains its original brick surround and tile hearth. The mantel above it was fashioned with fir flooring salvaged during the remodel. On the other side of the fireplace wall, a cozy room with built-in cabinetry and a storage closet is ideal for a home office. A wide passage with a graceful arch separates the living room and the adjacent dining room, a light-filled space thanks to a panel of casement windows. Another arched passage connects the dining room with the kitchen and its adjoining family room. The kitchen offers traditional raised panel cherry cabinetry, custom tile backsplash and stainless steel counters. Professional grade appliances, all stainless steel, include a 6-burner gas range and dishwasher, both by Viking, and a Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator. A center island topped with natural stone provides good food prep and serving space; it also helps divide the kitchen from the family living area. Two sets of French doors afford both spaces easy access to an enclosed backyard with a patio. Display shelving in the family room flanks custom cabinetry for a big screen TV. An arched passage in the family room leads to a back hall with stairs to both the upper and lower levels. There is also a powder room with a pedestal sink, tile walls and flooring in the back hall.A tall Palladian window graces the landing of the split staircase to the second level, where there are four bedrooms and two baths. Ceilings are trimmed with crown molding; floors are original fir throughout. Another Palladian window overlooking the entry and front yard dominates the master bedroom. It provides plenty of natural light as well as views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains, including Mt. Rainier. Two closets in the bedroom are supplemented by a big walk-in closet at one end of the room; all three closets have built-in storage features. The master bath has tile flooring, a platform tub and glass-walled shower. A vanity with two sinks has a custom tile backsplash and a natural stone countertop. The other bedrooms are served by a three-quarter bath with a glass wall shower, tile floor, and two stone-topped vanities with custom tile surround. The split staircase leading to the lower level has a door with outside access at its landing. The lower level has two connecting rooms with pale hardwood floors and crown molding that offer more living space. Also located on this level are a mechanical room with a gas furnace and a utility room with two sinks, front-loading laundry facilities and a large storage space with the hot water heater. The house has gas-fired forced air heat, a security system and recessed lighting on all three levels.

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 - Madrona Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am extremely disappointed with Principal Carter. Over several years, I repeatedly advocated for my daughter’s appropriate placement and early grade advancement, but my concerns were ignored or deflected. She misrepresents facts, fails to communicate clearly, and does not follow through on serious issues.During kindergarten, my daughter faced multiple safety incidents in her classroom—being choked, slapped, and nearly losing a tooth. These incidents were not addressed properly, yet my daughter was penalized while the other children were not. When I requested a transfer for her safety, Principal Carter minimized the situation and failed to provide real solutions.Now, my daughter is placed in a K/1 split classroom with a first-year teacher, despite being academically and socially ready for a full first-grade classroom. Principal Carter’s explanations about class composition were inaccurate and misleading.Overall, she is rude, deflects responsibility, and avoids solutions. Interacting with her feels like dealing with one of her students rather than a school administrator. I do not trust her to act in the best interest of the students, and I strongly caution parents who expect transparency, accountability, and advocacy for their children.Parent Review8mo ago - Edmonds S.

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
