5409 NE 54th Street

A private retreat blending architectural heritage with modern sophistication, this one-level residence captures the timeless appeal of Pacific Northwest modernism. Originally built in 1953, the home honors its mid-century roots with clean lines, purposeful spaces, and a strong connection to the outdoors, thoughtfully enhanced with refined contemporary updates. The granite tile entry opens to expansive living, dining, and kitchen areas beneath dramatic cantilevered ceilings. Shoji screen doors, curated accent lighting, and a subtle material palette reference classic mid-century details while complementing today’s elevated finishes. The chef’s kitchen features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops throughout. The flexible bedroom layout offers exceptional privacy. One wing includes two generous bedrooms, a full bath, and a powder room, while the opposite wing is devoted to the private primary suite with walk-in closet and direct access to a tranquil deck. Excellent storage includes a walk-in pantry, abundant closets, and a mudroom connecting the garage and laundry. Level outdoor living features two Trex decks, a private yard, and a large two-car garage. Impeccably maintained and move-in ready, this distinctive home offers architectural significance and modern comfort just moments from University Village and the Burke-Gilman Trail, in one of Seattle’s most coveted neighborhoods.
