This General Electric “New World Home” is a first of it's kind collaboration by local builder Harold Larsen & General Electric. Enjoy unobstructed, protected Puget Sound views & arboretum-like gardens from this amazing Mid-Century gem.
THE PROPERTY
This lovely home is situated on a large corner lot in the coveted Broadview neighborhood with protected and unobstructed views. The front and back gardens with wandering paths are reminiscent of the Arboretum. The outdoor spaces provide a blend of commanding views and a private oasis, complete with mature landscaping, garden beds and an irrigation system.
MAIN FLOOR
The main floor living area is thoughtfully designed to create an open flow while capturing the breathtaking Sound views. At the heart of the main floor is the original sandstone gas fireplace that can be enjoyed whether you are in the remodeled kitchen or relaxing in the living room. Gleaming solid oak floors, powder room, access to both the private back patio and front view deck, and a wall of windows, round out this classic Mid-Century space.
Also on the main floor are 3 bedrooms. An en-suite 3/4 bath and french doors to the private patio are the defining features of the largest bedroom. This room is inconspicuously plumbed for a washer and dryer for future single-level living. The second bedroom features two sizeable closets and hardwood floors. The third bedroom looks out onto an enclosed patio and stunning view of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. It could serve as a spectacular home office with its private entrance and inspiring vista. The remodeled five-piece bathroom has a luxurious soaking tub, custom tiled shower, and heated floors.
LOWER FLOOR
The spacious lower level features large family room with brick wood-burning fireplace, a 4th bedroom with an abundance of closet space, a 3/4 bathroom, a laundry room with utility sink, and direct access to the oversized 2-car garage with enclosed storage and work area. Designed with flexibility in mind, the lower level can seamlessly transition into a private living area, should the owner's needs change in the future.

THE HISTORY
In 1952, local builder, Harold L. Larsen collaborated with General Electric and architect Hamilton Eckert to build a showcase home named the “General Electric New World Home”.
Harold and his wife intended to help find the perfect owners of this new home, but instead fell in love with it themselves. They chose to live there until the second owner purchased it in 2001.
Now is your opportunity to be the third owner of this spectacular home.
