The stone in the fireplaces and columns came off the Alyeska Prince Hotel job site. That detail tells you what kind of house this is: built by those with access to good material and the conviction to use it. Nearly 5,700 square feet on a private acre of the Lower Hillside, just off O'Malley. This is a home on a luxury scale. Rooms are large, ceilings are generous, and the floor plan gives you room to separate work, living, and guests without anyone stacking on top of each other. The primary suite takes the entire top level, a private floor rather than a bedroom at the end of a hall. Two more bedrooms with two full baths sit on the main floor. A games and family room with soaring ceilings and a wet bar handles the larger gatherings, and a three-car garage takes the toys and the tools. Cherry runs throughout, including cabinetry, built-ins, and millwork, all custom. The kitchen carries the same cherry work with deep counter space and room for more than one cook. The lower level holds a full office suite with its own exterior entrance, used as the headquarters for an engineering and construction firm. It functions as a business wing, a studio, or a self-contained guest level. Converting one room to a kitchen would make this a fully self-sufficient multi-room apartment with its own exterior access. Above, a rooftop deck (under construction) plumbed for a hot tub looks out over the Hillside and the trees. An expansive deck lies off the main floor as well. The finishes reflect the era they were installed in (the house was remodeled to the studs in the 1990s), and that is exactly where the opportunity lies. On a per-square-foot basis this is among the strongest values on the Hillside. It is a substantial custom home with real bones, priced so a buyer can bring their own vision to the table.
