1929 Georgian Colonial ~ applauded for responsibility to its celebrated era. A principal offering revealing a buoyant evolution of Pediments, Palladian influences, Dentil moldings and Arced portals. Wearing sunshine on its shoulder, a poised and secure 10,800sf and scented grounds of glory.
Commending its kitchen with a triumphant architectural glass back-splash tossing vivid morning daylight hues about like balls of cotton. Take a deep look oh ye great and mighty Electronics Buffs: wired with intellect!!!
Superb infrastructure where serious attention was paid to the things that you can’t see as well as those on display! Enchanting! Tread softly in the gardens...breathe in deeply, listen to birdsong. Cherry blossoms waving, rhodies bowed with heavy blooms, roses standing at a soldier’s attention, spring and summer dogwoods. The restored ballroom floor is now the recreation room surface. Stone walls and meandering stone paths. Terrific walk score: parks, beach, stores, cafes, coffee, ‘the Red Apple’. “Meet me in the Village”.

The stately brick Georgian at 4005 E. Highland is one of the most remarkable houses I’ve ever seen in Seattle, unique in its quality of light, architectural detail, and the proportions of its rooms. In a city this young, it might also be unique in having roots that reach back to America’s colonial era. The house was originally built for the family of John Minor Black-ford, a prominent physician and co-founder of Seattle’s Virginia Mason Hos-pital who had moved to Seattle around the age of 30 from Virginia - about ten years before the house was completed. Both Blackford and his wife Eliza-beth were born and raised in Fairfax County where their families had lived for generations. Their most prominent ancestor was John Blackford’s great-great-grandfather George Mason, friend of George Washington and, with James Madison, a founder often referred to as “Father of the United States Bill of Rights.” George Mason is also well known among architects and historians as the patron and original owner of Gunston Hall, a Georgian-style plantation home built between 1755 and 1759 that inspired John Blackford’s home in Seattle. Now a museum on the National Register of Historic Places, Gunston Hall is notable for its ornate woodwork and interior carving like the dining room pictured here, details quite unlike the simple interior decoration then common in the American colonies.
Like Gunston Hall, the Blackford house features detailing unique amongst its peers. Completed in 1929 just before the Great Depression, the exterior’s simple brick walls, well-proportioned windows, and white dormers recall Georgian houses more common on the East Coast. Inside, the curving main stair, intricate carved doorway trim, and the Living Room’s sophisticat-ed Adamesque fireplace surround give the main floor a richness uncommon in Seattle. Over the past eight decades, the Blackford house on East Highland has been home to many families, each of whom have modified it in some way, small or large, to suit their lives. I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with several of these families, and in 2003 worked with the current owners on a substantial renovation and restoration of the house, upgrading systems and reconfiguring the layout to meet their goals while maintaining the architectural character that makes this house so special. I am sure you will agree that 4005 East Highland is one of Seattle’s hidden gems.

M adison Park…home of Art Walks, Restaurants, Shops, Parks and Beach, Groceries…just some
of the nearly 100 storefronts that draw in people from the community and further beyond. Eclectic ~ endearing ~ energetic. The faces and places are divergent in their character with at least one common trait ~ that of their love of the village of Madison Park.
