Normandy Park, Washington sits quietly along Puget Sound — tree-canopied and unhurried in a way that feels increasingly rare.

Saltwater beach access. Forested trails. Waterfront paths along the Sound. Three Tree Point nearby. Seattle twenty minutes north.

The community has chosen to stay this way.

HJEMSTED, a Scandinavian collection by Terrain Signature Properties, belongs to that choice.

HJEMSTED was designed around a restrained material palette: architectural charcoal, vertical cedar cladding, and the changing coastal light of Normandy Park.

Scandinavian-inspired forms. Pacific Northwest roots.

Dark massing above. Warm cedar below. Materials selected for how they age, weather, and belong to the landscape around them.

A limited collection by Terrain Signature Properties.

One of the things I love most about this business is getting to be part of the process long before a home ever reaches the market.

From development meetings and construction milestones to architecture, design, and ultimately helping someone find the right place to call home — it’s the intersection of all of those pieces that keeps me inspired every single day.

That’s the work happening behind the scenes at HJEMSTED, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.

From blueprints to closings. 🏡

The four homes at HJEMSTED didn’t need to be named. The orchard had already done it.

Eple — apple. Pære — pear. Plomme — plum. Kirsebær — cherry. Norwegian names drawn from over a century of cultivation on this ground in Normandy Park, Washington.

Four names from the land. Four homes that carry them forward.

HJEMSTED — a limited collection by Terrain Signature Properties.

On a quiet coastal bluff in Normandy Park, Washington, a century-old orchard has become the foundation for something rare in Pacific Northwest residential development — a project that begins not with architecture, but with the land itself.

HJEMSTED, the Norwegian word for homestead, is a limited collection of four new construction residences by Terrain Signature Properties. The name was not chosen for its resonance. It was inherited from the ground — farmed by Norwegian settlers, cultivated for over a hundred years, and now continued in the form of four west-facing homes oriented to frame Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains.

The land shaped the architecture. The architecture defers to the land.

Asked ChatGPT to write an unhinged bio for me and it absolutely delivered. Told it the bio was a little too accurate… and somehow it doubled down even harder. 😂

\\
Luxury Realtor by day, emotionally over-caffeinated project manager by night.
Selling waterfront dreams while simultaneously reorganizing my life in color-coded Asana boards no one asked for.

Equal parts blueprints, closing statements, existential crisis, and oat milk espresso shots.
Can discuss septic contingencies, Scandinavian architecture, attachment theory, and why your lighting is wrong — all before 9 AM.

Probably driving through Bellevue or Seattle voice-noting business ideas I’ll either turn into a luxury brand or forget by Tuesday.

Emotionally attached to:
• polished concrete floors
• editorial lighting
• Puget Sound views
• saying “we should buy land”
• pretending one slow Saturday fixed my burnout

“From Blueprints to Closings” but spiritually somewhere between Vogue Living and a contractor yelling at me over permit revisions.

Off the grid for the holidays, soaking up Malibu sunsets, slow mornings, and beach house magic. 🌊✨

After a quiet season, this reset gave me clarity, perspective, and fresh energy for what’s ahead. Grateful for the pause, grounded in purpose, and excited to serve at an even higher level this year.

Back, aligned, and ready. 🤍

A New Chapter Begins at Coastal Garden Retreat

Yesterday’s handoff was one of those moments that remind me why I value this work so deeply—guiding a beautiful home from one chapter to the next with intention, respect, and care.

I’m incredibly grateful to my sellers for trusting me with a property that meant so much to them. The process was thoughtful, collaborative, and anchored in shared clarity about how special this home truly is.

Congratulations to the new homeowners stepping into this space—a home filled with warmth, light, and the kind of quiet comfort that’s hard to replicate. I’m confident it will hold many beautiful memories.

Grateful for the aligned partnership from everyone involved in bringing this to a smooth, elegant close.

Here’s to thoughtful transitions, meaningful work, and the next story waiting to unfold.
