This home is located West of Market Street near downtown Kirkland and has breathtaking views of Lake Washington to the Southwest. The upstairs deck captures the view while a protective cover reduces glaring summer sun and winter rain showers. The gently curving rooflines add a bit of whimsy to the streetscape. The framing contractor claimed that the home caused weekly traffic jams, as cars stopped in the middle of the street to stare as the construction progressed. It caused more than a few fender benders too! Since these photos were taken, the owners have installed a gate at their entry, as people would pull in to their driveway to stop and look at their home. This home is a testament to the idea that shows that the modern style can be warm and inviting. Designed to be energy efficient and maximize the views, it is truly a striking home.
