Overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, this five-bedroom’s atrium has two stories—one an enclosed sitting room with a curved glass ceiling and French doors, the other an open-air deck.

Built in 1982, the refreshed waterfront home has a wall of windows, wood-look floors, and three fireplaces. The nearly 1-acre lot has an oversize waterfront deck and an attached, three-car garage; Seattle is about a 30-minute drive.
