I actually gasped when we first saw the house in Kenmore... it had skylights aplenty, strong cedar beams, and was our first introduction to the quintessential flat-roofed, classic mid-century home structure.
Because life doesn't always go as planned, we didn't get that Kenmore house. We were the second-highest bidder of about 11, and at the time we were devastated - but we had learned something through the process: We wanted a Burrows house, and we weren't going to settle for any less.
We looked at a few modern builds at first, but nothing was calling out to us, and we are lived-in, warm, woodsy type of people - but still wanted to be closer to the city.
One day, a John Burrows home popped up in the Kenmore area, and we started digging in to learn that Burrows was a local renowned builder who built about 35-40 absolutely impeccable mid-century homes in the Seattle area in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
