A Northwest Rambler · Bridle Trails
18 Bridlewood Circle
Set on 1.16 private acres at the edge of Bridle Trails State Park, the residence is a single-story Northwest contemporary, completely rebuilt in 2006 with vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, and stone accents that meet the surrounding cedars. A detached barn, finished in 2023, adds eight hundred and ninety-four square feet of lounge, exercise, and study.
A residence drawn in cedar, stone, and glass. A detached barn of eight hundred ninety-four square feet, finished as quietly as a small house. And, beyond the gate, four hundred and eighty-two forested acres of state park. Three thresholds, gathered on a single private acre.
The great room rises beneath an exposed-beam vaulted ceiling, clad in warm cedar that draws the forest indoors. A stone hearth with a copper-mantled plaster fireplace anchors the room; expansive windows reveal the cedars on three sides.
The kitchen, updated in 2023, is set in book-matched quartz with a stainless apron sink, walk-in pantry, instant hot water, and Thermador appliances. A raised breakfast bar runs the length of the island; pendant lighting falls from the beams.
Originally built in 2006 and converted in 2023, the detached barn is a fully finished pavilion: vaulted wood ceilings with skylights, two sets of nano doors that open to the lawn, and a mini-split for year-round comfort. Inside, a lounge with fireplace and wet bar; an exercise room; an office; storage; a half bath.
The square footage is not counted in MLS totals. It functions as a guest house, a studio, a third living room, depending on the day.
Bridle Trails State Park begins where the lot ends: four hundred and eighty-two forested acres of riding and walking trails, second-growth Douglas fir, and quiet. The neighborhood is named for it. The home is sited for it. Equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts arrive at the trailhead by walking through the gate.
Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, drawn warm from the surrounding forest.
A hearth, a fireplace surround, and exterior accents, coursed quietly into the architecture.
A hand-troweled fireplace face, set against the cedar; the warmest of the cool tones.
A mantel, a kitchen pendant, a band at the patio. The single bright accent against everything else.
A residence and a detached barn on 1.16 private acres at the gate of Bridle Trails State Park.
Set in the Bridle Trails neighborhood of Kirkland, the residence is six minutes by car from downtown Kirkland, ten from downtown Bellevue, twenty from Seattle. Lake Washington Schools — Ben Franklin Elementary, Rose Hill Middle, Lake Washington High. Sea-Tac is half an hour by car.
A residence best experienced in person, where the cedars meet the cedar ceilings and the gate opens onto the trails.
