PLOMME
Lot 3 — 18634 2nd Ave SW, Normandy Park
4 bed / 3.5 bath / 4,006 sq ft / 10,434 sq ft lot / 2-car garage
Plomme — Norwegian for plum — is the most spatially ambitious of the four-bedroom homes. The vaulted ceiling of the primary bedroom is not a flourish — it is the organizing idea of the entire upper level, a sloped plane that rises to a central ridge and gives the room a quality of volume more commonly found in civic architecture than in residential. To sleep here is to inhabit a room that has been genuinely designed.
The upper level carries that ambition throughout. The primary bathroom — the largest of the four-bedroom homes — pairs an 11-foot-six double vanity with a 72-inch shower and a freestanding tub positioned to receive the western light. From the private balcony, Puget Sound opens to the horizon.
On the main level, Plomme introduces something the other four-bedroom homes do not have: a dedicated pantry and office. Positioned off the kitchen, it functions as a working larder, a home office, or a quiet withdrawal from the open plan. A main-level bedroom with its own ensuite bath offers a complete guest or multigenerational suite without requiring use of the upper floor. Framed for a future elevator, Plomme is designed for long-term living at every stage.
A restrained material palette reflects Plomme’s architectural discipline — where texture, tone, and proportion quietly reinforce the clarity and intent of the space.

Plomme is organized around geometry — the kind that changes how a room is experienced, not just how it measures. The vaulted primary bedroom ceiling rises to a central ridge, giving the room a quality of volume that most homes reserve for communal spaces, and the sloped roofline that creates it carries through into the TV and fitness room, where the same ceiling geometry shapes a dedicated space for practice, movement, or stillness. The upper level holds the primary suite at its western edge — bedroom, walk-in closet, primary bath, and a private balcony oriented toward Puget Sound — alongside two additional bedrooms, a shared bath, and laundry on the same floor as the primary. On the main level, the open living and dining area runs along the western façade, anchored by a TV and media wall and connected to the upper floor by an open-rail stair. A dedicated pantry and office sits off the kitchen — a room absent from Eple and Pære, and one that adds a layer of functional seriousness to the program. Bedroom One on the main level, with its full ensuite bath, completes the floor as a self-sufficient living level in its own right.

Plomme's interior palette sits in the warmest, most textured register of the collection — creamy field tones layered with natural material variation that gives the home a settled, unhurried quality from the first room to the last. Custom cabinetry in soft matte finishes holds the light without competing with it. Stone countertops carry variation without drama. Wide-plank flooring runs through the living spaces, grounding the open plan in organic continuity. The primary bath is the collection's largest among the four-bedroom homes: an 11-foot-six double vanity, a 72-inch shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned to receive the western light — a room that earns its proportions through discipline rather than scale. The natural textures and earthen accents that define Plomme's palette are distinct from the other three homes — the same restraint, a different hand.

Plomme is designed for the way a household actually moves through a day. The dedicated TV and fitness room on the upper level — shaped by the same sloped ceiling geometry as the primary bedroom — offers a room set apart for movement, practice, or stillness, with the western light and Puget Sound views that make the effort of that separation worthwhile. Laundry sits on the upper level alongside the primary suite, keeping the home's daily rhythms contained to the floor where they belong. On the main level, the pantry and office provides a room for focused work that the open living plan cannot — a quiet withdrawal that makes the openness of the rest of the floor function better. Bedroom One, with its full ensuite bath, means guests or extended family occupy the main level completely, without sharing the upper floor. And with both levels framed for a future elevator, Plomme is a home designed to be lived in fully at every stage of life — not just the first one.

Situated within Normandy Park — one of the South Puget Sound's most private and enduring waterfront communities
-
Protected coastal setting with established tree canopy and low-density zoning
-
Direct access to saltwater beaches along the Puget Sound shoreline
-
Lush parks, forested trails, and waterfront paths woven through the community

Minutes from Seattle, Tacoma, and Sea-Tac International Airport
-
A community defined by longevity, privacy, and natural setting
Normandy Park occupies a rare position on the Puget Sound — a coastal community that has remained deliberately quiet, low-density, and deeply connected to its natural setting. Tree-lined streets give way to saltwater beaches, forested parks, and trails that wind from the bluff to the water's edge. Three Tree Point anchors the shoreline to the south, drawing kayakers, divers, and those who simply want to watch the ferry lights cross the Sound at dusk. Seattle and Tacoma are both within thirty minutes. Sea-Tac is closer still. Yet Normandy Park feels unhurried — a place where the land and water set the pace, and the community has chosen to keep it that way.

The landscape at Plomme, designed by Studio Terrain, continues the orchard and native restoration work that defines the collection — allowing the land's century of history to remain legible beneath the new architecture. Lot 3's grounds are designed to complement the home's character: layered native plantings, natural textures at grade, and a palette that carries the same earthen warmth as the interior. The covered porch at the main level extends the living program outward, connecting the interior and the landscape without ceremony. The specific planting plan and material specifications for Lot 3 will be updated once the Studio Terrain design is finalized.
