1641 Windermere Drive East

Description

Distinguished 1927 Mediterranean Revival in gated Broadmoor, set on a rare street-to-street lot offering exceptional privacy and flexibility. Behind a mature privacy hedge and Japanese maple frame a wrought-iron gate hinting at the elegance within before the home ever comes into full view. A stone-paved courtyard and an elegant entry framed by fluted pilasters, art-glass sidelights welcome you home. Smooth cream stucco, deep charcoal trim, arched windows, a graceful wrought-iron balcony, Italian cypress and a storybook terracotta roofline create a timeless Old-World presence. Inside, over 5,000 square feet showcases beautifully preserved architectural detail, including carved plaster surrounds, arched French doors and distinctive ironwork. Thoughtfully updated with A/C, whole-home A/V, a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, outdoor kitchen and 2-car garage. The generous street-to-street lot offers rare potential for expanded gardens, motor court access or additional outdoor living. Established in 1924, Broadmoor remains one of Seattle’s most private and sought-after enclaves, adjacent to Washington Park Arboretum and Madison Park. Nearly a century of architectural pedigree meets a coveted gated address.
