1. Waterfront Property

Waterfront living is truly one of the biggest luxury custom home features. The picture speaks for itself. I mean, really! For this gorgeous custom home in Shoreline, WA we can’t say enough about the view. Panoramic windows give you a breathtaking view across the Puget Sound. On a clear day you can gaze at the Olympic mountain range and pinch yourself. Waterfront living like this is available without being too far from Seattle proper. If the clouds come rolling in, you’ll still have a front row seat to wildlife from whales to seals to Great Blue Herons. In addition to the main window, we chose a glass door and custom glass windows to extend all the way to the ceiling. You won’t miss a thing.

3. Open Floor Plan 

Take advantage of waterfront living by leaning into an open floor plan. Building a custom home in Shoreline, WA with an open floor plan is an obvious yes. Not only does it maximize expansive views, but it also makes the most of every square foot while incorporating luxury custom home features. To delineate spaces while maintaining cohesion, the use of area rugs, lighting, and clever furniture arrangements creates a natural but modern flow. Every square foot feels expansive, airy, and infused with light. This is the perfect set-up for entertaining or unwinding after a long day.

4. Outdoor Living – Modern Cantilever Deck 

You might think you’ve seen everything this custom home in Shoreline, WA has to offer but you’d be wrong! We thought this gorgeous home deserved an equally gorgeous deck. We chose to create a modern cantilever deck. Cantilever decks give the appearance of floating because its support is hidden within the structure. This design not only enhances the home’s architectural appeal but also ensures unobstructed views of Puget Sound from inside the house. It’s the perfect spot to start your day with morning coffee or to relax with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the water.

5. Wet Bar 

A custom home is truly complete when you have a wet bar. Perfect for hosting, a wet bar offers everything you need to mix cocktails, serve drinks, and rinse glasses. A wet bar comes with a sink, while a dry bar is without. Let’s just say it, this is the kind of luxury that is plain old fun. Upgrade your dinner parties and let the guests admire the set up! You won’t have to be tied to the kitchen to make this party go into the night.

6. Sink in the Island  

Having a sink in the island has become the ultimate must-have feature in modern homes. While there are factors to consider such as hosting large gatherings, a sink in the island is often the right choice. Consider the fact that an island sink often increases the kitchen flow workspace. And if it’s your second sink, that adds an even greater advantage. Meal prep is that much easier.

The sink’s integration into the design of the island can also up communal living. If you’ve got kids, that means more face to face conversations while getting tasks done.

7. Modern Floating Stairs with Open Risers and Mono Stringer 

Modern floating stairs are flat out beautiful architecture. Open risers and mono stringers add a modern and elegant touch to any custom home. In Shoreline, as in much of the Pacific North West, light is a commodity! Open risers allow for coveted passage of light to keep your whole space bright. Modern floating stairs are minimalist design at its best, just don’t forget the railings. Railings are a must for safety but can also be designed just as thoughtfully—such as sleek black iron.

Ideal for showcasing your collection, the space also doubles as a tasting room. To make it even more practical, a modern kitchenette has been added for easy clean-up.
