A Seattle Classic Gets a Majestic Upgrade
In the heart of Seattle’s historic Capitol Hill, a 1904 Dutch Colonial has been reborn through the vision of Blue Sound Construction and Story Architecture. The home now blends heritage with modernity, and at the center of it all lies a kitchen designed to inspire.
Anchoring this transformation is the ILVE Majestic II 36” Induction Range (Model UMI09NS3MBG) in Midnight Blue with Brass Trim. Hand-crafted in Italy, this range isn’t just an appliance, it’s the statement piece that sets the tone for the entire home.
With five precision induction zones, a 3.5 cu. ft. oven framed by a triple-glass door, and hand-polished brass detailing, the Majestic II seamlessly bridges old-world charm with modern culinary performance.
Elegance & Innovation for a Pacific Northwest Icon
Every corner of this renovation tells a story of intention: custom cherry millwork, stained-glass windows, a soaring Dutch Gambrel addition, and a rooftop deck with sweeping views of Portage Bay.
The ILVE Majestic II was chosen not only for its beauty but for its ability to deliver chef-level results at home. In Midnight Blue, it complements the Delft-inspired backsplash and rich wood tones, instantly becoming the focal point of a kitchen built for gathering, entertaining, and creating memories.

In this Capitol Hill home, it’s more than a range. It’s the heartbeat of a kitchen where history and innovation meet, and where every meal carries both soul and style.
