Tidelight

Understated in stature. Exceptional in scale. Inseparable from its setting. Perched on a rare promontory above Puget Sound, Tidelight occupies an extraordinary position along the Seattle shoreline, with sweeping views of water and mountains transformed by changing light from first dawn through the lingering glow of evening. Nearly seven-tenths of an acre, 150' of saltwater frontage and private moorage place it among Seattle’s most substantial waterfront offerings—yet it is defined as much by restraint as scale. Designed by architect Tom Lawrence and built by Schultz Miller, the residence settles quietly into the landscape. Warm materials, expansive glass and beautifully proportioned spaces draw the Pacific Northwest into daily life, while terraces, gardens and coastal grasses soften the transition from house to shore. The result is a private coastal retreat remarkably close to the heart of Seattle. Inside, generous living and entertaining spaces unfold toward the water. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the home, while the serene primary suite offers a retreat unto itself. An indoor swimming pool, fitness room, wine room, library, dedicated office and separate guest accommodations provide exceptional utility without compromising the home’s quiet character. Substantial yet never ostentatious, Tidelight is ultimately a home conceived around ease of living and a genuine joie de vivre—a rare convergence of architecture, landscape, water and light.
