“Shorewood on the Sound”An indoor outdoor experience

Tucker And Shields ~ famed architectural collaborators ~ at Shorewood on the Sound. A lot has happened since 1957. Respecting its heritage...wearing a fine-looking coat as it accommodates the 21st century…Retro-love! The copper roof blushes with subtle luminosity; interiors of Amber Gold, bronze tinted windows. A modern jewel of the mid-century NW School, imitated by all. 60’ of saltwater; at lowest tides in May and June, you can walk from Fauntleroy all the way to Shorewood by beach. An exhilarating trip…occasionally a treasure brought in by the tide will lay at your feet. Tideland rights to this residence run 200 yards out.

The lot is 18,673 square feet. Ideal for children or 4 footed paw-children as the switchback trails to the water are gentle…stop and get an apple or peach from the trees by the river rock. There is a gate mid-way down to keep the dogs from going to the water; however, easily accessible for an evening at the Shore by the fire-pit. There is also a boat ramp and a bulkhead at the end of the trail.

The Courtyard is a spectacular introduction to the property. The lines are clean and are geometric perfection. Step in…first the overscale living room filled with light and the beginning of the glorious views. Watch the Seagulls playing tag with the clouds or count the thunder bolts from those southern storms. All rooms across the breadth of the west side of the home participate in the indoor-outdoor experience with water, sky, avian and marine activity. It energizes your body and soul. Get lost in thought from one of the multiple lounging decks and patios. The aggregate multi-colored squares are vintage 1957 and sparkle with warmth.

You will love the Credenza! It has a functioning stereo and record player that is original – 1957…they are both hidden within the cabinet. A dual wood burning fireplace services both living and dining rooms (the second hearth is on the lower level). The main floor master bedroom has a wall of windows…waking up in the morning adds a page every day for memory books. The kitchen is great although our favorite feature is the functioning double ovens from 1957. The recreation zone downstairs is big. The Butler’s Bar will bring you back to the days of “Bewitched”.

FACES AND PLACES

the faces and places of Burien, WA

By: Wendy Lister

2

Burien, WA is a 100-year-old waterfront community with six miles of Puget Sound shoreline and expansive mountain views. Residents take pride in their neighborhood, actively preserving their saltwater accesses and protecting the appearance of their streets and public spaces. Housing ranges from starter homes to high-end homes, condominiums and apartments of all sizes, including senior apartments.

Home owners and business people alike love the convenience of Burien’s hub location and great connections. You can drive north to Seattle in 12 minutes, east to Sea-Tac Airport in five minutes, and south to Tacoma or east to Bellevue in 30 minutes. The hub site means that jobs and entertainment are convenient, the parking problems are elsewhere, and a slower pace prevails in residential neighborhoods.
