A Private Broadview Retreat Overlooking Carkeek Park
Set at the end of a quiet shared driveway, this beautifully appointed Broadview home at 11715 4th Avenue Northwest in Seattle offers a rare sense of privacy with sweeping views of the wooded landscape of Carkeek Park. Tucked away from the street and surrounded by mature trees, the setting feels remarkably peaceful while remaining close to parks, shopping, dining, and major routes throughout Northwest Seattle.
Inside, hardwood floors, generous rooms, and a thoughtful two-level floor plan create an inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining. The main level features a spacious family room with sylvan views and direct access to the expansive deck, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless. An electric retractable awning extends the season for outdoor enjoyment, while the natural-gas BBQ grill makes gatherings easy.
The adjoining kitchen is designed for both cooking and connection, with abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large pantry, and a breakfast nook with sliding doors opening directly to the deck. A gracious formal dining room provides an elegant setting for larger gatherings and flows naturally into the formal living room, where a fireplace and built-in bookcases create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere.
A spacious main-level bedroom with en suite bath offers flexibility for guests, extended family, or single-level living. A convenient powder room and access to the oversized two-car garage complete this level.
Upstairs, a light-filled landing opens to a private balcony overlooking the wooded surroundings. The expansive primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a generous five-piece bath with separate shower and soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms, a bath, and a dedicated laundry room provide exceptional space and flexibility.
A Home Designed for Modern Resilience
One of the property’s most distinctive features is its solar and backup-power system. Thirty solar panels were installed in two phases (19 panels in 2020 and 11 in 2023) along with three Tesla Powerwall batteries. According to the Seller’s information, the system has allowed the home to operate without purchasing power from Seattle City Light since the second solar installation. During a power outage, the battery system is designed to power most of the home, including the central air conditioning.
Central air conditioning adds year-round comfort, while whole-house speakers, family-room speakers connected to the TV, four exterior cameras with recording system, wall-mounted TVs, a beverage refrigerator in the mudroom, and a garage freezer add convenience and thoughtful functionality.
A Remarkable Outdoor Setting
The approximately 12,960-square-foot lot provides an uncommon amount of space for Seattle. The rear deck looks directly toward Carkeek Park, with no neighboring home visible from the deck according to the Seller’s information. A front patio and upper-level balcony provide additional places to enjoy the outdoors. Natural gas is also piped to the west side of the home for the BBQ grill and/or a future hot tub.
The property also benefits from a recorded view easement over the neighboring property to the east. The easement limits structures on the neighboring property to 30 feet in height and establishes a 45-foot setback from the shared property boundary, helping preserve the character of the home’s easterly outlook. Buyers should review the recorded easement and related documents for complete details.
The Broadview Lifestyle
Here, nature and convenience come together. Spend the morning exploring Carkeek Park, enjoy coffee or dinner nearby, or take advantage of easy access to major routes connecting you to downtown Seattle, North Seattle, Shoreline, and beyond. Yet when you return home, the feeling is distinctly removed from the city. It’s quiet, private, leafy, and surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
This is a home with room to live generously, entertain comfortably, work from home, welcome guests, and enjoy the outdoors. Add the exceptional solar and battery system, substantial lot, park setting, and flexible floor plan, and 11715 4th Ave NW represents a truly distinctive Broadview opportunity.
Professionally pre-inspected, offering buyers added confidence and transparency.
