A View From Every Room
A complicated property with a beautiful view can’t be wasted; it just takes some creative problem solving. That was the case with Estes Builders 550th home recently completed in the Bell Hill neighborhood of Sequim. Perched on a hill, the lot offers sweeping views to the north but is extremely steep from east to west. Estes Builders’ team designed the foundation across the width of the parcel, stair-stepping up the slope while keeping the home on one level. Though a more expensive solution than laying out the design in a north-south configuration, it was worth it for the homeowners: Every major living space—from the great room to the kitchen to the bedrooms to even the primary bathroom shower—has views of Sequim Bay, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Mount Baker.
