A Rare Dual-Wing John Buchan Estate

HomeDiary

View The Story of This Home

This residence features a true dual-wing layout rarely found in Sammamish. The main home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, while the fully integrated lower-level wing provides an additional 2 finished rooms, bathroom, private entry, laundry, and kitchenette. The home has been fully renovated to today’s standards while preserving the hallmarks that define John Buchan design—vaulted ceilings, intentional flow, light-filled living spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Multiple decks extend the living areas outward, capturing peaceful views of Lake Sammamish and the surrounding natural landscape. The layout feels both expansive and grounded, designed to bring light, volume, and flexibility together in a way that is increasingly rare.

At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large waterfall island, and clean modern finishes complement the home’s architectural character while elevating its functionality. Two fireplaces anchor the main living spaces, adding warmth and balance to the open layout.

What truly sets this home apart is the fully integrated lower-level living wing—not an add-on and not a conversion, but a space purpose-built as part of the original design. This level functions as a true independent living area, complete with its own private entrance, kitchenette, two spacious rooms, a ¾ bathroom, and dedicated laundry. Whether used for multi-generational living, long-term guests, a private workspace, or flexible lifestyle needs, this wing offers a level of versatility rarely found in the neighborhood.

Beyond the visible finishes, the home has been comprehensively modernized with meaningful, behind-the-walls improvements. Updates include new electrical throughout, updated flooring, fresh interior paint, updated doors, and carefully selected materials that bring the home fully into the present while honoring its original integrity. The result is a residence where architectural pedigree meets modern peace of mind.

Set on a private .40-acre lot in the highly sought-after Carlton Heights neighborhood, the property offers both seclusion and connection—just minutes from parks, trails, and everyday conveniences. The home is located within the Issaquah School District, serving Creekside Elementary, Pine Lake Middle School, and Skyline High School.

This is a rare opportunity to own a fully updated John Buchan estate with a layout, setting, and level of architectural intention that simply cannot be duplicated.

One home. Multiple ways to live. And a design story that truly stands apart.
