Seattle’s buzzy Capitol Hill neighborhood offers up everything from farm-to-table dining at Terra Plata to captivating exhibitions at the local art museum. It’s also where you’ll find a dramatic lakeview residence by architect Tom Lenchek of Balance Architects.

Built in 2011, the modern two-story pad affords postcard-like views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains, along with three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,860 square feet of stylish interior space. Windermere Real Estate Midtown broker Kim Wesselman, who holds the $3.94 million listing, says Lencheck worked closely with one of the owners to create bold design statements both inside and out.

That starts at the facade, where stone and hardwood features pop against coral bark Japanese maple trees. The interiors are also full of striking contrasts, with maple wood paneling playing against iron-beam ceilings and glass railings.

Entering the foyer, two large windows frame the picturesque landscape ahead of a floating stairwell. Further in, the living room is decked out with clerestory windows and glass doors that flood the space with natural light and a fireplace that adds a cozy feel. Opposite lies a gourmet kitchen with modern appliances and a dining area for entertaining. You’ll also find an office nearby, should any work arrise.

Off the main living area is a scenic-view balcony that overlooks Portage Bay and beyond. Upstairs, meanwhile, are two bedrooms, a laundry room that currently doubles as a fitness studio, and a light-filled den. The primary suite is the standout, though, with a massive, minimalist bed, panoramic vistas of the distant mountains, and a bathroom covered in shimmering red tiles.

Heading downstairs, the lower level is outfitted with an intimate lounge area, the third bedroom, and sliding doors that open to a covered patio and pristine lawn. Further afield lies the 50-acre Volunteer Park, plus the bars, restaurants, and boutiques of the Pike/Pine and Broadway corridors. You won’t quickly run out of things to do.
