The Salt Box~Art and architecture intersect in this Portage Bay bungalow to create a light-hearted in-city jewel box retreat imbued with an artistic modern vibe. An enchanting circular brick private garden courtyard leads to the casita and is complete with Balinese teahouse and Victorian style greenhouse, one of many surprises. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, creative lighting, and glass garage doors bring light and the outdoors in. Artist Allan Packer was given creative license to make this the best saltbox ever and so he did resulting in a fun, fantastical medley of art, craftsmanship and science perfect for entertaining. Oft touted, toured and published in Pacific NW Magazine. Walk to Little Lago and the water.

Work With Patricia

I've been a full-time real estate professional for over 30 years specializing in luxury and lakefront properties throughout the greater Seattle area. My expertise and knowledge have facilitated hundreds of sales including 66 waterfront sales. Prior to settling in Seattle in 1980 I relocated annually as a corporate spouse. I believe this experience enabled me to offer empathy and a unique perspective not only for my relocation clients but for all of my clients. Moving and finding or selling a home is a major life event; everyone needs someone they can trust to help them navigate the process. Whether you're buying, selling, moving up or downsizing I would love to help you find or sell your home.
