5248 W Mercer Way

Description

Brilliantly reimagined mid-century residence originally designed by iconic Seattle architect Fred Bassetti in 1962. A complete remodel by Chadbourne and Doss won the AIA honor award in 2011. Known as The Wood Block Residence, this home has been featured in Dwell Magazine and The Seattle Times’ Pacific Northwest Magazine. Materials throughout are natural yet crisp, with features including blackened steel metalwork, glass, concrete and stained cedar wood wrapped walls and ceilings.  A large steel & glass pivot door at entry welcomes you. The large white Caesarstone kitchen island is the centerpiece of the home.  White bathrooms are ethereally bright, smooth and seamless with extensive use of white Milestone set against dark stained oak floors. An 8-foot skylight stretches above the primary bath. This residence embraces the work from home concept and was created with a main floor primary suite, an office space, a large open concept kitchen, dining area, family room and main floor deck. The lower level is multifunctional, with an office/media room, two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry and a private outdoor courtyard. Giant moss-covered boulders add a timeless quality to the exterior spaces.
