Born in 2006 with the perfect marriage between Dovetail Construcon, Broderick Architects and David
Ohashi Landscape Design. This is a very special custom home. Understated elegance with attention to every single drtail and designed with many Feng Shui elements that lead to a very vary warm, relaxed and peaceful feeling in the home. This is a true Custom
Home, engineered and built to the very highest standards for design,livability, enginerring and most importantly...peace of mind! Well Planned Custom Lighting throughout the Home is used to highligh Art Work and create a
wonderful inviting atmosphere when the sun goes down. Every light switch is on a dimmer to be able to dial in the exact ambiance desired. The Kitchen has over head lighting and under counter lighting and wine glass cabinite with a window in the back of it also has lighting to created dramic effects in both and day and evening. The two Bosh dishwashers in the Kitchen areso quite you don't they they are running and having two dishwashers is wonderful when entertaining or just keeping all the dishes out of the sink and off the counters. The Custom Built Double Pantry is huge and holds everything a gourmet chef could ever use and the cupboards and counter space are a delight to have and...you have Sweeping views of Downtown Seattle, The Cascades and Mt.Rainier from the Kitchen Window. The Kitchen is an impressive gathering place toped with Honed Sea Foam Grabite when entertaining or just sipping a cup of tea and watching the humming birds that live year around in the beautifully landscaped and light back yard. 
Originally built in 1949 the brick rambler was completely torn down in June of 2005 except for the two brick walls that now
accent the back patio off the Living Room. The new home was expanded from 2800 Sq Ft to 4100 Sq Ft per the Architects Plans. The Existing foundations were reinforced and new foundations were poured utilizing pipe piles every where the home was extended. The home is virtually brand new with new everything. The engineering of the home is impressive and the earthquake measures are extensive. The finest materials were used from the framing to the stunning finish work and the builder, Dovetail Construction, painstakingly made sure everything was the wayit was supposed to be on absoutly everything. Not details were too small. No corners were cut anywhere with anything. Dovetail holds a reputation as one of the finest quality builders in the area and they deserve that reputation.
Details, Details and Details everywhere. Pella Architectural Windows were used throughout. They are metal clad outside and all wood inside. Hand picked Cherry was used for the Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Den/
Office wainscoting. The finish carpetner thgat did all that work was outstanding, a true craftsman. A small but telling detail that is indicative of the quality is that the top drawers in the kitchen cabinets are cut from a single plank of cherry so the grains matches from drawer to drawer. 
Clear Cedar was used for the exterior with each end of the siding sealed and the top of every exterior surface has metal
flashing on top of it. Brazilian Cumaru Hardwoods were used throughout the main and second floors. This is extremely rich and dense hardwood that adds incredible warmth and personality to the home and really sets off Persian rugs beautifully. Baldwin Hardware was used throughout the home. The Powder Room is stunning with a Wall of Zen Glass, Light Fixtures from Italy, hand made Marble Sink from Israel that sits on a slab of Basalt that sits on a custom cabinet made from Wenge. 1 inch thick honed Granite was used in the Kitchen and the Living Room Gas Fireplace with remote starter. The tile work in the Upstairs Bathrooms is as stunning as you will find and interior rooms are expertly painted utilizing a palate
of soothing colors that flow peacefully and beautifully from room to room.
