A truly special Magnolia contemporary home with stunning Ship Canal and Sound views. Designed by architect Cihan Anisoglu and completely rebuilt in 1995, this American Institute of Architects award winning Home of the Month lives like a private perch above one of Seattle’s most fascinating waterways. Watch paddleboarders, fishing boats, Christmas ships, cruise ships heading to Alaska, and changing skies over the Sound. Every day brings movement, color, and tides. Nature is at your doorstep here. Watch salmon, sea lions, eagles, and herons. Walk to the Locks, fish ladder, Chittenden Park, and Discovery Park. Inside you'll find great light, tall ceilings, easy living spaces, and a full-width upper deck—an outdoor room perfect for coffee, dinner, BBQs, and soaking in the view. Cooking and entertaining feel easy here, with comfortable gathering spaces that keep the water close. 2026 updates include refinished hardwood floors, new windows, quartz countertops, interior paint, new carpet, and more. Well maintained with mature, easy-care landscaping. Experience the best of Northwest living. With Ballard’s vibrant dining scene, SLU, and downtown all within easy reach, you truly get the best of both worlds. For busy people, it’s a rare work/life balance: commute home quickly, catch cool breezes off the water, smell the Sound, barbecue on the patio, and feel like the city is behind you. A rare Magnolia experience!
