This modern style Four Bedroom, Three and a Half Bath Luxury home is built with the same care and attention as the home next door, but with a sleek, modern sensibility. The atmosphere is refreshingly full of clear surfaces and fuss-free design, allowing the setting and views to take the focus and offering a serene space for living.

Larry and I had previewed the home next door, also built by Legendary Homes, and were invited back to see this home as well, and now we have both homes listed for sale.

A rooftop deck is accessible from the balcony decks off two of the bedrooms to make the most of the views during good weather.

3864 Square feet of quality includes built in vacuum, high tech cabling, fireplace in master suite, jetted tub, media room and much more.

Two new construction homes by Legendary Homes sit almost atop Goat Hill, in the Juanita area of Kirkland. Views of the north end of Lake Washington, Kirkland and Bellevue's skylines as well as Mt. Rainier on a clear day (when the mountain is "out") have been maximized in the layouts of these two homes.

First, the luxury home nearest the road has warm feeling finishes, fine woods throughout, granite kitchen counters with hand chiseled edges--a unique touch. Travertine tiles, marble touches, molten glass and metal tilework. Interesting features include hand hammered copper sink in the media room, a wine cellar with your choice of layouts.

Five Bedrooms and Four Baths make this a substantial place to live, with space for extended family, or room to wander. The media room is your own personal movie house, complete with a refrigerator, sink and cupboard space for snacks. If you'd rather enjoy the views, they are available from the main level of the home, the Master Suite, and the fabulous roof top deck, which incidentally has a kitchen on the same level--convenient!

To quote the builder: "We are a small family owned and operated construction company, in business for over 20 years. We build each house to our personal standards of quality that far exceed the industries expectations. We strive to incorporate functional livability to meld seamlessly with our design elements. As an example, the walls of the media room in the home have fabric covered panels that offer a cozy warm elegant feel to the room and improved sound absorption as well as easy access to the hidden in-wall sound system and electrical components. This was an intricate custom design.

Goat Hill is a unique location. The houses have the convenience of a full service city nearby and easy access to Seattle. But at the same time, they are located at almost the end of a dead end street. It is a quiet and serene neighborhood with almost no traffic. In the summer the children play in the streets together safely riding their bikes, skating and visiting. You often have to drive around the old yellow retriever that enjoys his afternoon naps right in the middle of the road.

As sundown approaches the whole atmosphere of the homes begin to change. The sun back lights Mount Rainier until it appears to be aglow. The city lights come on and a calmness descends making the roof top decks and indoor views almost magical.

Whoever gets the privilege of living in these homes will find breathtaking inspirational views to renew their spirits every morning, the reassurance of good neighbors and a peaceful community each day and nature in all her majesty to awe them as they say goodnight each evening. The views and location of these homes offer a sanctuary that is truly priceless."

I am intrigued by this month's Seattle Metropolitan Magazine. There are several great articles, but this one caught my eye right away...Smartest City! This is what I have been hearing everyone talk about for the past summer. First I learned the statistic that Seattle is actually the Most Educated city in the country. Not only is there a great educational system, but then the tech industries draw even more people with lots of degrees and achievements under their belts...now imagine all these people in a relatively small space.

I'm going to discuss this a bit more with some of my sources of Seattle Lore, but love this quote from the magazine: "How Seattle is inventing the future, winning the Space Race, saving lives, and spreading the religion of international geekdom." It goes on..."Not that it's news to you, but you're living in the brainiest city on the planet. Seattle ranks as the most literate and educated place in America. We have the most bookstores, the highest number of advanced degrees. And we are changing the world...for decades companies like Microsoft and Boeing have lured brainiacs to our fair city. When those minds set out on their own, take up hobbies, or spawn the next generation of geniuses, the results alter the planet. Technology from Seattle is saving lives around the globe, revolutionizing the way information is processed...Seattleites were the first to embrace a word that was formerly a term of derision: geek. Geeks are problem solvers. Geeks aren't afraid to flaunt their astronomical IQs. Embracing the term means embracing the idea that intellect is power, that our minds can overcome any obstacle, that our knack for high-level thinking should be celebrated. Let's face it, geeks run the planet and Seattle is the geekiest place there is. Here's why:"

It goes on to talk about Kirkland's Bungie Studios (gaming..."thumb to thumb combat"), UW Computer Science Professor Oren Etzioni (data mining..."The Sultan of Search"), Dr. Daniel Rubens of Children's Hospital (cause of sudden infant death syndrome..."Man of the Ear"), UW physicist John Cramer (physics/time travel "Back to the Photon Future), The Liftport Group, Bremerton (aerospace/space elevator..."the 27,280,000th floor"), Microsoft product team manager Brad Wright (aerospace ... "backyard rocketeer"), CellarTracker's Eric LeVine(data storage..."Cyber Tipplers"), Allen Institute for Brain Science (biomed..."Mind Over Gray Matter"), Belltown-based Cranium, Pioneer Square's Sceneit, Renton's Wizards of the Coast (entertainment...brainy board games), Western Washington U's Eric Leonhardt & students (energy..."Cow Pie Power"), and eight or nine others. Wow, I'm stunned. I knew I kept meeting really smart people, but...better get geeking! And by the way, if you are my client reading this, I'd be happy to send you a copy of this month's magazine if you don't have it!
