Designed by modernist architect Ralph Anderson, this Innis Arden MCM sits perched above Puget Sound with protected western views stretching across the water to the Olympic Mountains beyond. Sunsets go gold, trees sway in the foreground, and nearly every room feels suspended somewhere between architecture and landscape. The materials tell the story as much as the views-Mica stone, terrazzo tile, stained wood, exposed fir framing, dramatic ceiling heights, and organic lines that soften the scale while grounding the home firmly in the Pacific Northwest. Set on an oversized lot with a true compound-like presence, offering the kind of privacy that has become increasingly difficult to find. The grounds offer a natural, woodland setting, the perfect simple backdrop to the wide Sound views. Thoughtful improvements include gas fireplace conversions, tankless water heater, gas boiler, mini-split AC, refinished hardwoods, exterior paint, updated where it matters, untouched where it should be. And then there's Innis Arden— a neighborhood people move into and quietly stay for decades. Trails, tennis courts, pool, clubhouse, and protected green space. The City is still close. It just stops feeling urgent once you're here.
