A wash of warm ochre and deep cypress accents sets the tone for a home inspired by the villas and hillsides of Tuscany, unexpectedly discovered on a quiet block atop Queen Anne. The short ascension from the street to the house is an opportunity to shed the city and the day. You can almost feel yourself transported to the rolling hills above Lucca. Afternoons on sun-drenched patios, evenings by a roaring fire, parties on parquet floors, long baths in a green-tiled bathroom, sunrise espresso in the nook off the kitchen. It's a warm, welcoming, hopeful place, where friends invite themselves over, drawn by its approachable elegance. But do not mistake nostalgia for weakness. The strength of brick, old timber, and heritage craftsmanship forms the foundation of this home. Generations of Seattleites have walked these streets, celebrated within these walls, and sought a balance between progress and tradition. For nearly 125 years, this home has welcomed it all. And in so many ways, life here isn't so different from the lives of those who came before. Local shops and cafés, pocket-sized parks, and dramatic views of Lake Union and the Cascades are a block away. Life has been good here for a long time. Now comes the opportunity to shape it in your own image.
