Forbes Creek Custom

Northwest Contemporary Custom Home

Located in the neighborhood of Forbes Creek, a sunny and tree-filled community of Kirkland, this beautiful Northwest Contemporary custom home enjoys a sprawling level backyard and custom appointments throughout 5,900 square feet. The scale of this home is impressive as are the modern and thoughtful interiors.

Highlands Builders Group worked hand-in-hand with Kirkland’s own J3 Architects and Lydia Huffman/LH Design to bring this special custom home project to life.

The entry leads into a truly dramatic Great Room with 20’ ceilings and custom two-story fireplace with a Stucco finish to lend a natural element. The double-height ceilings are punctuated by floor-to-ceiling windows and thoughtful sconce placement. The timeless 60” chandelier mirrors the style of the entryway chandelier for a cohesive design.

The modern Chef’s Kitchen offers a full Scullery. The kitchen is outfitted with a full suite of Viking appliances and Liebherr paneled refrigerator. The cabinets selected are a custom white oak, and the hood was custom-made and finished for this range.

The kitchen leads out to the Covered Outdoor Living Room – huge at 760 square feet – and is the ultimate for all-seasons entertaining, equipped with heaters, built-in barbecue and access to the generous flat and sun-dappled backyard.

The upper level features a Primary Suite that spans the entire East side of the home, with a bridge spanning the entry and Great Room to access the stairs, the additional 3 bedrooms and Flex Room/Playroom.

The Primary Bath offers a spa-like steam shower, which was plumbed and wired in specifically for the space. Double vanities and soaking tub round out the space. There is an emphasis on under-cabinet and ambient lighting in this space as through the rest of the home. The spacious Primary Closet is conveniently located adjacent to the laundry, which offers dual washer/dryer units and folding counter.

From the Primary Suite to the kid’s bedrooms via the bridge – each bedroom has an ensuite bath, and nestled between is the Playroom with built-ins – a functional space. Each bedroom and bath were uniquely designed for each child.

The exceptional new home is sited on a 15,000+ square foot lot, a rare find close-in, with a flat backyard that enjoys great Western exposure. The landscaping was custom designed for this lot, with a two-tiered backyard area, plentiful hydrangeas and strategic privacy hedges that will grow beautifully.
