Own a Share of Seattle’s Built History

Commissioned by early 20th-century furniture merchant John W. Swigart and built by Eric Almquist, the house mixes prevailing plan-book features with stylistic innovation. Almquist constructed numerous University Park residences and in 1937, raised the storefront for Swigart’s Furniture Company, now Scarecrow Video, at 5030 Roosevelt.

Sumptuous Master Suite

Stretch out and pamper yourself in the floor-through suite comprising the master bedroom, sitting area, dressing room, opulent bathroom, and office with custom built-ins. From the Missoni Stark carpet to the aged brass bath hardware, each hand-selected detail assures your pleasure and repose.
