1626 Federal Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102

This 1926 strikingly picturesque brick home is a fine example of the French Normandy style, an unusual eclectic revival style best known in Seattle for its influence on the apartment buildings of Frederick Anhalt. The original fa?ade with its high gables, small dormers, the enclosed brick vestibule entry and the charming two-story turret with the narrow leaded glass staircase windows and the ceramic tile roof is fully intact. The leaded glass windows, some of them diamond-patterned, in the living & dining rooms as well as the master suite are beautifully preserved. Other original architectural details large airy rooms, tall windows with leaded glass, crafted Mahogany woodwork, and coved ceilings. The home is sited on park-like grounds (almost 25,000 sq ft) in a prestigious section of Federal Avenue surrounded by stately homes, many designed by prominent architects. A two car garage, a lovely gardening shed and charming playhouse complete the picture.
