The living room features vaulted wood ceilings that meet a wall of Mt. Adams stone that seamlessly flows through an expansive wall of glass with territorial views.The kitchen and informal dining space have orig built-ins&fixtures while a vintage mural by James Seeman Studios of New York graces the dining nook wall.The study shares the stone wall with an integrated fireplace and concrete hearth bench, a built-in desk and an outdoor seating area.The primary bedroom suite overlooks a water feature and Japanese maple providing a serene setting.Further honoring the NW style’s founders, Gatewood expertly incorporated deep overhanging gables and a passive ventilation system providing fresh air throughout to allow for larger panes of fixed glass and frameless clerestory windows; a detail reminiscent of the esteemed designs of contemporaries John Yeon and Pietro Belluschi. Perched within its hillside lot to maximize privacy and breathtaking views, this home masterfully blurs the lines between the indoors and outdoors.

This special work of art is ready for the next steward who will enjoy the home's sophisticated design and honor the legacy of its artistry and architecture.
