This 1930s Mediterranean villa with a view of Seattle's Lake Union could be yours for $3.3M

Perched atop Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, the home at 2000 Taylor Avenue North stands out from its neighbors. Its style — a restored and updated 1930s Mediterranean villa — is unique, and the half-an-acre plot it sits on is noteworthy in itself. This home is on the market for $3.3 million. 

The 2,560-square-foot home is positioned in a way so that nearly every window offers views of Lake Union, the Seattle skyline and the Cascade Mountains.

Many of the original 1930s details remain in the home's well-preserved facade and interior. 

Compass Realtor Stephanie McRae, who co-listed the property with Katie Cahill, told the Seattle P-I that renovations were always meant to honor the home's historical heritage by "perfectly balancing its modern updates with picturesque details such as original oak floors, a Juliette balcony and French doors."  

"The architecture has a way of bringing the outside in, creating a seamless integration of its surroundings," McRae added. 

The windows in this four bedroom and two-and-a-half bathroom home make the sweeping, postcard-ready views of water, city and mountain seem like they're part of the house's interior.

There's also a .37-acre lot of terraced, landscaped beauty, with a lot of space for taking in that view, whether it's from the garden, lawn, patio, terrace or fire pit.
