A gated entry, circular drive, and expansive Sound views make this north Edmonds home an interesting one to explore.

There’s an Edmonds that most people know—and then there’s this part of Edmonds.


Far north, between Picnic Point and Mukilteo, this high-bluff residence looks out across sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. It feels removed from the bustle as you wind down into the neighborhood, eventually arriving at a gated entry and circular drive, surrounded by mature trees and a sense of privacy.


The house itself was built in 1969, and I like the way some of that Northwest character remains part of the story: natural materials, fireplaces, skylights, generous windows, and a strong relationship with the landscape. There are nearly 3,000 square feet, four bedrooms, four baths, and multiple spaces designed to take advantage of the setting.

The Possibilities.

Of course, there’s always room to make a home your own. Here, I can imagine bringing in your own point of view through color, furnishings, and finishes, while working with what’s already here. The house has good bones and a nice, livable floor plan.


But I think the real possibilities are less about changing the house and more about how you want to live in it.


There are spaces for gathering, quiet corners, outdoor living, and plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the landscape. And the view is obviously going to be part of everyday life here. Morning coffee with the Sound in the distance. A summer evening outside. Winter weather moving across the water. Guests gathering around one of the home’s fireplaces.


For me, that’s the appeal of a home like this: the setting does a lot of the work. You don’t need to manufacture a sense of place when you already have one.



Join Me This Weekend.

I’m hosting an open house here Saturday and Sunday, and I’m curious to see how you think the house feels in person. If you’ve been looking for a property with a little more privacy and a big Northwest view—and you’ve been trying to stay under $2 million—this one is worth a look. Come see it for yourself.
