Perched atop Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, the home at 2000 Taylor Avenue North stands out from its neighbors. Its style — a restored and updated 1930s Mediterranean villa — is unique, and the half-an-acre plot it sits on is noteworthy in itself. This home is on the market for $3.3 million.
The 2,560-square-foot home is positioned in a way so that nearly every window offers views of Lake Union, the Seattle skyline and the Cascade Mountains.
There are two levels, both facing the lake.

The home has been designed to blur the lines between the inside and outside spaces.

“The architecture has a way of bringing the outside in, creating a seamless integration of its surroundings,” McRae added.
The home is 1930s, but this kitchen with the modern chef’s needs met, is all 2022.
