IT LIST: August 2020
As the summer season peaks, nature is in full bloom and the sun continues to shine throughout Seattle! I hope you all have been able to enjoy this gorgeous weather we've had lately, whether that be through nature walks, time with loved ones, or a good book on the patio.
In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share two newly listed homes: an Expansive Tudor on Shenandoah Drive with a sprawling sunny double lot and a Georgian Colonial classic on Capitol Hill with an unbeatable location, an interesting report on Seattle-area renters, the latest market trends in Seattle, an inside look at the latest edition of RESIDE Magazine, and inspiring sentiments from a past client.
Treasured Anhalt Tudor
Known as the Millard-May house, this was Anhalt's favorite home and he punctuated it with oodles of delicious details: a timbered entry dormer, a dramatic vaulted beamed ceiling, stained glass windows, a Dutch door and brass nailhead trim. Embracing its super-power (charm and ambience) at every turn, this home has been completely updated by the team of Bosworth Hoedemaker and Garret Cord Werner.
Pending | $2,350,000
Georgian Colonial in North Capitol Hill
Perched high above the street, this lovely Georgian colonial checks all the right boxes. On the main floor, perfectly proportioned formal rooms boast arched doorways and coved ceilings, a darling kitchen with Calcutta counters and high-end stainless appliances. The lower level has a terrific rec-room with plenty of room for a big sectional and TV, plus room for a desk, tons of built-in storage, and two full wine refrigerators! The backyard is west facing with mature plantings and built-in Wolf BBQ.
Sold at $1,450,000
Royal Tudor in Broadmoor
There is a powerful presence to a Tudor home ~ a royal lineage, an inherent greatness. Sited on a sprawling sun, drenched double-lot, this special home is a tribute to good taste and classical design. Bright, welcoming rooms exude refinement at every turn and open to a level patio and expansive garden. A third-floor retreat and lower level rec-room extend your space. Permitted plans available for an apartment over the existing garage. A home to make memories in!

Market Trends: Second Quarter of 2020
Each quarter, Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty analyzes market data to examine trends and to ensure our clients better understand the real estate market. The second quarter of 2020 was framed by a very different real estate landscape as Washington’s stay-at-home order was in effect for the majority of this period. The data across these five market areas reflects fewer homes on the market year-over-year likely because of this, and while median prices and buyer demand varied more, it was a seller’s market.
IT Pick: July 2020

Anne Will
“We both give Laura our highest possible recommendation because Laura is an excellent listener and communicator. These qualities, plus her candor and obvious market knowledge, earned our trust early on. She was highly skilled, patient, and discreet while guiding us through what was, for us, a complex, lengthy, and trying process. She brings an ideal balance between professionalism, with laser focus, while being consistently personable and pleasant to deal with. She was ALWAYS prompt and ran the extra yard in exceeding our expectations. We both feel very fortunate to have had her on our side during this process."
