This beautiful custom home is a true sanctuary in the city.
Cedar House sits at the end of a quiet street on a large lot with mature gardens, a seasonal creek, and a community of old Douglas Firs.
As you approach the front door, you are immersed in gardens and greeted by a secluded, covered, cedar deck that serves as an inner courtyard and anchor for the home. Enjoy quiet mornings stretching or sipping coffee and afternoons enjoying the more-than-human-world from this sanctuary.
The home's interior is light and flowing. High performance upgrades and natural materials provide a beautiful, nourishing environment.
The upstairs living room, gas fireplace, mahogany mantle and gleaming oak floors invite you to settle in and rest. The Birdseye Maple kitchen bar is a point of connection between guests and the cook or a place to chat over breakfast in the mornings.
The primary bedroom has its own entryway that can serve as a nursery, office or meditation space as well as an ensuite bath with an oversized tub. Views over and into the backyard and seasonal stream elevate and create a vantage that generates a sense of spaciousness and perspective.
The downstairs bedrooms and giant room are perfect for family quarters, a home theater, exercise, or entertaining guests. An additional "storage" room is ready to be converted to a 4th bedroom.

It’s in the details
A 40 year roof, hot water heater and re-stained cedar siding have all been done in the last few years. The cedar decks were just refinished.
There is a Venmar air system that circulates fresh air from outside while efficiently maintaining interior temperatures keeping the space fresh and healthy at all times. The recirculating hot water system efficiently cuts down on water use and keeps hot water ready at the tap.
This one of a kind home and property have been beautifully and lovingly maintained since construction and are ready for new stewards to continue the legacy.
