The Highlands is one of Seattle’s most exclusive neighborhoods. Located north of the city closer to Shoreline, the neighborhood is gated and out of the hustle and bustle of urban Seattle. What’s more, there are many significant homes tucked away, and it’s not every day that homes in this neighborhood hit the market. Let’s check out a beautiful 1920s European Tudor Revival home designed by notable Pacific Northwest architect, Edwin Ivey.
Ivey's houses emphasized livability, functionality, and comfort. He skillfully incorporated elements such as large windows to maximize natural light, spacious interiors for social gatherings, and outdoor spaces that celebrated the region's scenic beauty.
Edwin Ivey recognized the importance of craftsmanship in architectural design. He collaborated closely with skilled artisans and craftsmen, integrating their expertise into his projects. Whether it was the intricate woodwork or the attention to detail in finishes, Ivey's residences became a testament to the Pacific Northwest's rich tradition of craftsmanship.
The Edwin Ivey home was built in 1921 and is comprised of 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms spread through 11,680 square feet of space. It’s set on an over 3-acre property that has stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains and the backdrop is sure to be the perfect setting for sophisticated entertaining.
Much of the home’s heritage essence remains although the home systems and interiors were fully updated by Schultz Miller in 2005. You’ll find design elements like Moorish columns, elegant arches, and beams, paired with leaded glass and more. It’s truly a heritage lover’s dream.
