Purchased in 2003 as a fixer-upper, the seller of this 3-BR in Seattle has spent the years since transforming it into what she calls a "Modern Dutch Colonial Urban Refuge." It was renovated as a "slow house," using only locally-manufactured materials. For example, the front porch and back stairs were both made from cedar free-of-heart timbers from LS Cedar Company on Vashon Island. Each room has its own story to tell in how it was renovated and brought back to life.
