The Ellington

Named after Duke Ellington – the well loved American composer – this Mid-Century modern estate is located just blocks from the Burke Gilman trail and Matthews Beach in Northeast Seattle.  One of this home’s most coveted features is its unique location on a bluff at the end of a private street. The Ellington House truly speaks to its modern heritage with its glass and wood structure perched over a huge yard with a beautiful vista of the surrounding landscape.  The main floor includes a generous open floor plan with a large great room, formal dining and cook’s kitchen as well as an adjacent deck overlooking the surrounding wooded site.  The master suite includes a sitting area and en-suite bath.  Four additional large bedrooms and two additional baths are also located on the same floor.  Yes, five total bedrooms on the main floor – perfect for large extended families and home office/studio utility.  Finally, the fully finished, full-height basement includes daylight family room, additional studio, full bath, laundry and a massive storage room.  Energy efficiency features include 2 zones of super efficient heating/cooling with a dual compressor ductless heat pump system.  A heat recovery ventilator provides fresh air throughout the house with minimal heat loss due to heat-exchange of exhausted stale air with incoming fresh air.  Generous floor to ceiling double pane windows and sliding doors provide natural daylight, fresh air and insulated comfort throughout the year.

This home is seeing a major transformation. Check out the before photos of the Ellington – Great bones with not a lot of love over the years…
