About this home
Step into a home with a soul. Tucked into the heart of Seaview, this rare architect-designed residence is the kind of property that stops people mid-scroll and makes them say, “Wait… what is that?” Designed by architect Basil Manly Jerard as his own home, this treasure is filled with the details buyers dream about but almost never find: rich wood paneling, dramatic custom ceilings, leaded glass, built-ins, vintage radiators, sculpted plaster walls, and a brick fireplace that feels like the beating heart of the house. Every room tells a story. The exterior’s steep rooflines and old-world charm create unforgettable curb appeal, while the interior offers a canvas for the next steward to preserve, enhance, and make their own. Original character still lives here—from the warm library-like living spaces to the vintage bath and charming upper rooms tucked beneath the eaves. This is not a cookie-cutter house. This is a conversation piece. A legacy property. A home for the buyer who feels something when they walk through the door and knows that true character cannot be duplicated. Opportunities like this are rare, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Tour it, feel it, and decide whether you want to own a house… or a piece of Seattle architectural history you can call home....
