A charming early 20th century home in Kirkland's coveted West of Market neighborhood has hit the market, offering a rare opportunity to own a property with sweeping 180-degree views of Lake Washington, the Olympic Mountains, and the Seattle and Bellevue skylines. The 10,800-square-foot lot provides flexibility for the next owner, who can choose to remodel the existing home, expand with an addition, or design and build a brand new custom luxury estate.

Why it matters

Kirkland's West of Market area is one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the Eastside, known for its historic homes, stunning lakefront views, and proximity to downtown Kirkland's shops, restaurants, and parks. This property represents a unique chance to own a piece of Kirkland's history while also having the opportunity to create a signature luxury home in a prime location.

The details

The existing home on the property was built during the Peter Kirk era and features timeless character, but also presents several compelling options for the next owner. They can choose to remodel and expand the current home to fully capture the panoramic lake and mountain views, or they can design and build a brand new custom estate. With RS 7.2 zoning, the lot also provides flexibility for future development, including the potential to add two additional dwelling units or four cottage homes (subject to city approval).

  • The property was listed for sale on April 8, 2026.
