Garage Gives Homeowners Private Entrance

On the lower level of this Spanish eclectic, split level home, a garage provides a private, secure entry to the home.

Spanish Eclectic Home's Rear Elevation with Lots of Windows for Access to Natural Light and Mountain View

The rear elevation of this Spanish eclectic home is full of windows so that the interior spaces can take advantage of an abundance of natural light and the home's beautiful view of Morgan Junction below.

Flagstone Pathway Leads to Spanish Eclectic Home's Front Entrance

From the lower level garage, a flagstone walkway leads around the Spanish eclectic home to the front door. The pathway is simply but elegantly landscaped, and it allows guests to take in the beauty of the home's original masonry.

Dark Wood Door with Stained Glass Window

The front door of this home really sets the tone for the Spanish eclectic design of the home. The dark, wood door is warm and welcoming, beckoning guests into the home, while the geometric stained glass adds a pop of eclectic color.

Mountain View from Living Room Window

In the living room, two large windows let in plenty of natural light and provide a beautiful view of the mountains below.

Fireplace with Warm, Wood Mantel and Spanish Inspired Hearth

To create a focal point and help warm the space, a decorative wood mantel and Spanish tile hearth were installed around the fireplace. This elegant feature complements the exposed beams and makes the living room feel more like home.

Exposed Beams and Arches Bring Spanish Design to Life

The exposed beams and unique arches help bring the Spanish feel to life throughout this home's spaces.

Dining Room with Large Window to Let in Mountain View

The large window in the dining room helps to connect the elegant, Spanish eclectic home to the beautifully landscaped mountainside around it, allowing diners to enjoy their surrounding within the comfort of their home.

Rich Woods Create Warm, Inviting Dining Area

Beautiful, rich woods in the dining room make the space warm and inviting for guests and occupants alike.

Sitting Area with Mountain View and Plenty of Natural Light

A sitting area located just off the kitchen is bathed in light. With its beautiful view, it offers the perfect spot to take in your morning coffee.

Neutral, Spanish Eclectic Kitchen

The kitchen, filled with warm, neutral tones and plenty of cabinet space for storage and counter space for food prep, has a Spanish tile backsplash that brings the Spanish eclectic style of the home to life. To complement the design, a natural stone floor was installed to bring a more earthy feel to this space.

Neutral Bedroom with Rich, Wood Accents

The neutral color palette-throughout the home and in this guest space-makes great use of the home's natural light, reflecting it off every surface, keeping the home's spaces light and bright. To warm the space, wood trim and wood floors run throughout the spaces, adding an inviting sense to the home.

Neutral Bedroom with Pops of Turquoise to Complement the Mountain Surroundings

This entire Spanish eclectic home has strategically placed windows to take advantage of the natural light and provide a mountain view from each of the home's spaces. This bedroom is no exception. Once again, the neutral color palette reflects light, while pops of turquoise add color and complement the home's mountain surroundings. Finally, semi-sheer curtains help to control the room's sunlight.

Bath Tub and Shower in Master Bathroom

The master bathroom is equipped with both a shower and a bath tub, giving options to homeowners.

Decorative Fireplace in Neutral Living Room

To warm the space, a fireplace with stone surround and decorative tile mantle were added to the space to give it an extra touch of personality as well as help control the home's temperature on cool, Seattle nights.

Ample Seating in Neutral Living Room

The living room in this eclectic, Spanish inspired home has a large sectional for plenty of seating, making the space perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a long day.

Master Bedroom with Sitting Area

A sitting area in the master bedroom gives the space additional seating, giving homeowners another great relaxing space.

Warm, Brown Guest Bathroom with Spanish Tile Detail

This guest bathroom only has a small window to let in natural light, so sconces and recessed lighting were added to help brighten the space. On the walls, a brown color bathes the walls adding warmth and complementing the neutral tile whose details contribute to the home's Spanish eclectic design.

Private Garden with Kitchenette

The home's private garden has an outdoor kitchenette making this the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. The space is crafted from durable materials, such as flagstone, brick and Spanish tile, ensuring that this space will stand the test of time and the elements.

Private Garden with Mountain View

The home's private garden-just off the home's kitchenette-is perfectly landscaped to maximize the mountain view.
