The dictionary defines EPIC as heroic; majestic; impressively great. This is an epic home. Walk inside this amazing home and just try to pick a favorite room. They’re all so special, you’ll have a hard time choosing just one! This stunning family home sits high on a hill in the coveted Inverness neighborhood with views till forever, yet with a rare level back yard that’s perfect for the entire family. ENTRYThe formal entry has a lovely leaded-glass front door, Tierra Sol tile flooring and a built-in cubby system with a space for every member of the family—no more backpacks and muddy shoes left on the floor! Just off the entry is a convenient powder room with a pedestal sink and solar tube for additional light. MAIN LEVEL One of the first things you’ll notice when entering this special home is its soaring ceilings, open feel and beautiful oak floors. The main hallway features custom cherry cabinets and leads to the cozy living room, with its vaulted ceilings and stunning view. Just off the living room is the large formal dining room, featuring crown molding, a beautiful 19-inch Alabaster bowl chandelier and French doors leading to a private deck. The room opens nicely onto the remodeled gourmet kitchen with cherry-and-glass cabinets, a hanging pot rack over a prep island. The kitchen transitions nicely into a cozy family room with a gas fireplace with tile surround, custom built-in cherry media center and a door leading onto a deck. At the rear of the home is a quiet office with a custom cherry desk and table, and a peaceful sunroom with vaulted ceilings, three skylights and French doors that open onto a deck overlooking the back garden.


UPPER LEVELClimb the open staircase to the wonderful upstairs living space. At the landing is a door that opens onto an intimate deck with jaw-dropping views. Steps away sits the large master suite. A peaceful retreat, it has a bay window overlooking the trees, lush carpeting and the biggest walk-in closet you’ve ever seen! The huge, five-piece master bathroom has vaulted ceilings, a Nuheat floor heating system under slate tiles, a jetted tub framed by large windows, a custom tile steam shower with glass doors and glass block wall, white Corian countertops with double sinks, a solar tube, speakers and extra storage space. An additional finished room on the upper level features built-in shelves, recessed lighting, a wet bar with built-in refrigerator, sink, tile countertop and oak cabinets. The options for this room are limitless. LOWER LEVELThe huge lower level is a kid’s dream, with three charming bedrooms (one of which is a second master suite with an elegant bathroom), a full bathroom, and a rec room with a door that provides “secret” access to the backyard play area. Adjacent to the rec room is a workspace with huge custom maple double desks that’s the perfect spot for computer work. Also downstairs is a locking wine closet with built-in wine racks and a separate laundry room. GARDENSThe fenced, level back yard is fantastic for children and pets, with a charming play structure with slide and swings and a cool fort under the deck that the kids will love. An enormous storage area under the house provides room for all your gardening supplies. A brick paver patio is nice for entertaining. The gorgeous grounds feature Japanese maples, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, ferns, apple and pear trees, and a convenient sprinkler system. ADDITIONAL FEATURESAdditional features include a 2-car garage with built-in storage bins, an OnQ “smart box” wiring system for low-voltage hookups, a huge storage room with shelving and separate entry (that could potentially be finished off for a different use), plumbing for a central vacuum system, house-wide speaker system (including the decks), TWO gas furnaces, THREE gas water heaters (no running out of hot water here!), double-paned windows with white painted millwork, paneled doors, Phantom retractable screens on most of the sliding doors, and MORE-than-abundant storage throughout. LOCATIONThe Inverness neighborhood is coveted for its spectacular views and classic architecture. Quiet and private, it’s still close to all you could need. The Burke-Gilman Trail is a short walk or bike ride away, making it easy to visit nearby Matthews Beach or Magnuson Park. You’re also close to the shops of University Village, wonderful schools, the University of Washington, bus lines, downtown and 520. For more information, please visit www.SeattleEpicHome.com.
