Set along highly coveted Magnolia Boulevard, this exceptional custom residence is a study in thoughtful architecture, sophisticated design and effortless Northwest living. Occupying an oversized street-to-street property extending from Magnolia Boulevard to 44th Avenue W, the home enjoys a remarkable sense of space and privacy while embracing the western light and sweeping outlook of the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains and islands that make this stretch of Magnolia so distinctive.

Designed by Queen Anne architects Mucci & Trucksess and built by respected Magnolia contractor Mike Pollock in 2013, the residence was conceived with equal consideration for beauty, livability and entertaining. Architectural details unfold throughout the home, from custom Level 5 drywall and cove lighting to handcrafted metal and wood railings created by a Gig Harbor craftsman. The result is a home that feels substantial and refined without sacrificing warmth or comfort.

At the heart of the main level is a dramatic living room crowned by a soaring 20-foot barrel-vaulted ceiling. The impressive scale is balanced by an abundance of natural light and expansive western views, while a fireplace and custom architectural detailing create an inviting place to gather. A piece commissioned from a local Bainbridge Island artist adds another distinctive element to this memorable space.

The main floor was also designed with accessibility in mind, including level access from the driveway and garage and wheelchair-accessible bedrooms, bathroom and shower. An oversized sliding door can provide additional privacy between the bedroom wing and the home’s principal gathering spaces.

The chef’s kitchen was designed for both serious cooking and everyday connection. Generous work surfaces and a substantial center island anchor the space, complemented by an exceptional appliance suite including a six-burner Thermador gas range with griddle, convection oven, separate steam oven and warming drawer, along with a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A second full-size Viking refrigerator is conveniently located in the laundry room.

Open to the kitchen, the informal living room and casual dining area form a relaxed gathering space with a direct connection to the outdoors. Full-panel-opening Nano Doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, extending daily living onto the covered rear patio and into the beautifully landscaped, private grounds.

The formal dining room offers an equally compelling setting for entertaining. Coffered ceilings and carefully considered lighting lend architectural definition, while another expansive Nano Door system opens the room to the west-facing covered outdoor living area. With integrated heaters, speakers, automated shades and gas connections, the covered patios were designed to be enjoyed well beyond Seattle’s summer months.

Together, these spaces create an extraordinary indoor-outdoor experience: doors open wide on a warm afternoon, dinner moving effortlessly from the kitchen to the patio, and evenings continuing outdoors beside the firepit as the light changes over Magnolia.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat removed from the activity of the main floor. The beautifully appointed primary bath creates a spa-like experience with heated tile floors and a deep Kohler VibraAcoustic Therapy tub, while a laundry chute adds an understated touch of everyday convenience.

An additional upper-level room provides an ideal private office or optional bedroom, allowing the floor plan to adapt easily to changing needs. The upper view deck—with hot tub and a new cover added in 2025—offers yet another place to unwind and enjoy the home's elevated setting.

Thoughtful planning extends well beyond the home’s entertaining spaces. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, providing tremendous flexibility for guests, or multigenerational living.

The lower level expands the home’s versatility with a spacious recreation room, bedroom and bath—well suited to overnight guests, media, hobbies, fitness or play. A substantial storage room provides valuable additional space, with a separate stairway connecting the basement directly to the garage. Additional attic storage is accessed by a pull-down ladder in the garage

The grounds are as thoughtfully conceived as the interiors. Front and rear covered patios create true extensions of the home, while the secure, fully fenced rear yard provides a private setting for entertaining, play and relaxation. A built-in firepit with surrounding seating creates a natural gathering place for evenings outdoors, and a Rain Bird automated irrigation system simplifies care of the landscaping.

Throughout the property, practical details have been integrated with the same care given to its architecture: automated lighting in closets, bedrooms, office and pantry; exterior holiday-light outlets controlled by a single garage timer; a new sewer line installed to 44th Avenue W in 2014; waterproofed basement exterior walls; and new central air conditioning installed in 2025.

The street-to-street configuration is particularly special. Vehicular access from 44th Avenue W leads to a secure automated gate and expansive auto courtyard, providing parking for six vehicles in addition to the oversized two-car garage—for a total capacity of eight cars. Mehrer-Remodel & Improvements L… It is an unusually generous arrangement for an in-city residence and allows the Boulevard-facing side of the home to retain a more residential, landscaped presence.

Three fireplaces add warmth and atmosphere throughout the residence—two gas fireplaces and an extra-tall Rumford-style wood-burning fireplace that has also been plumbed for conversion to gas if desired.

It is a home designed not simply to impress, but to live beautifully: expansive yet comfortable, architecturally distinctive yet exceptionally functional, and equally suited to intimate everyday moments and large-scale entertaining.

This remarkable Magnolia home offers refined finishes and an enviable street to street Boulevard setting that is conveniently located to Magnolia Village, Magnolia Community Center, Elliott Bay Marina, Discovery Park, Expedia’s headquarters at the foot of the Magnolia Bridge, Fisherman’s Terminal, Ballard Locks, Amazon Campus & South Lake Union, Myrtle Edwards Waterfront Park, Public Market, Seattle’s re-imagined waterfront and Aquarium, Colman Ferry Terminal, Seattle Center, Space Needle and Chihuly Gardens, and is an effortless commute to downtown!

Magnolia Boulevard is more than one of Seattle's most beautiful residential streets—it is part of the city's historic Olmsted park and boulevard system. In 1903, Seattle commissioned the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm to create a comprehensive network of parks and landscaped boulevards. Their vision called for a sweeping system that would connect Seattle's natural landscapes while preserving access to scenery and open space. Magnolia's dramatic bluff was an important piece of that vision. More than a century later, Magnolia Boulevard retains the quality the Olmsted vision sought to preserve: the unusual experience of living within the city while surrounded by mature landscape, open space, dramatic topography and a connection to Puget Sound. Its winding alignment, established greenery and proximity to Discovery Park give the Boulevard a character distinctly different from a conventional Seattle residential street.
