Experience Lightwell, a striking luxury home in the Houghton neighborhood of Kirkland. Designed by Max Rombakh, Skylar Jewett, Phil McCullough, and Jennifer Kowalski and built by Mirikeen Homes, this architectural residence blends Japanese wabi-sabi influence with midcentury modern design, creating a home that is both visually captivating and deeply livable.
From the moment you arrive, Lightwell makes an impression. A dramatic 10 foot glass pivot door opens into a soaring entry foyer anchored by a custom steel and glass floating staircase. Throughout the home, natural light plays a defining role, pouring in through 19 skylights and expansive windows that frame the surrounding Kirkland landscape.
The great room is the centerpiece of the home, featuring a suspended gas fireplace imported from France, the first of its kind installed locally, framed by custom steel and wood built-ins with a Roman clay accent backdrop. Two multi-slide doors seamlessly connect the indoor living spaces to a covered outdoor patio and private backyard, where professionally designed landscaping, lighting, and irrigation extend the architectural vision outdoors.
The chef’s kitchen is both functional and sculptural, showcasing premium Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, a 60 inch dual fuel range, 84 inch integrated refrigeration, and a dramatic slab backsplash that serves as a focal point of the space.
Upstairs, a skylit gallery leads to the luxurious primary suite featuring sweeping views and a private balcony. The spa inspired bathroom is finished with designer Ann Sacks fluted marble in Nubo Verde, a stunning stone known for its rich color and dramatic veining, complemented by a curbless shower and soaking tub.
Nearly every bedroom in the home features an ensuite bathroom with heated floors, providing comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike. The lower level offers a media lounge with kitchenette, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
Additional features include smart lighting, whole home audio, pre wiring for automated shades and security systems, a 21kW backup generator, and a spacious three car garage.
