Rainier Avenue House
Seattle, Washington

This site, purchased at auction from the City of Seattle, is all about the view. It formerly housed an electrical substation that was decommissioned and dismantled.

The primary living areas including the living room, kitchen and master bedroom all face the north with views of Lake Washington, Mercer Island, downtown Seattle and Bellevue. At just under 2,600 square feet the house features 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths & an office. A 2-story living room with a bold exterior geometry sets this house apart from more conventional speculative houses being built today. A similar house is also under construction on the adjacent lot to the West. The two lots form a bell shape and are bisected down the middle.
