Welcome to Puget Sound living at the Schickler House. Originally designed by noted Seattle architect Ralf E. Decker, the House represents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional example of post-war Northwest Modernism. Resting along one of Normandy Park's most coveted shorelines, the residence occupies a secluded 0.5-acre site, set back from the street & 50’ above the shoreline, creating a remarkable sense of serenity. Its signature butterfly roof, exposed beams, warm wood paneling & aggregate flooring celebrate the enduring relationship between architecture & nature. 'Walls' of glass on both levels frame breathtaking views of Puget Sound, the Olympics & nearby islands while filling the home w/natural light. French doors & expansive windows create a seamless connection to the surrounding patios, lawn & beach, making indoor-outdoor living effortless year-round. The thoughtfully designed floor plan separates private retreat from everyday living across 2 levels. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms—including a generous primary suite w/its own den or flex room—provide a peaceful sanctuary, while the lower level is devoted to gathering, entertaining, & fluid access to the outdoors. An easy switchback trail leads to 90’ of private beach w/deeded tidelands & permitted buoy, ideal for boating, paddleboarding & water exploration. Carefully renovated, this one-of-a-kind residence preserves its Mid-Century character while offering modern comforts, just all min from local amenities & Sea-Tac Airport.
