Why Purchase an Itama Bay Home
A Kirkland home built around how you want to live.
Itama Bay brings together luxury new construction, privacy and a location that puts some of the Eastside's best places within easy reach. Spend Saturday morning on the Kirkland waterfront, an afternoon in Woodinville, or an evening close to home. Everyday shopping, parks, major employment centers and neighboring Eastside cities are all nearby.
For those discovering Kirkland, it’s an opportunity to experience what makes this city such a desirable place to call home. For those already here, it’s an opportunity to find something new without giving up the community, convenience and lifestyle you already value.
THE HOMES
MORE SPACE. LESS DENSITY.
The site could have accommodated four homes. Itama Bay was intentionally limited to three, creating larger outdoor spaces, dedicated exterior parking and more separation between residences.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN.
The homes are angled rather than lined up side by side, with window size, height and placement carefully considered to reduce direct sightlines between neighbors while preserving natural light.
DETAILS YOU CAN FEEL.
10-foot main-floor ceilings, 9-foot upper floors with vaulted spaces, 8-foot solid-core doors, hardwood flooring throughout, built-out closets, skylights and generous storage create a noticeably different experience inside.
A KITCHEN + LIVING SPACE BUILT TO USE.
Bellmont cabinetry, gas cooking, a dedicated dry bar with beverage refrigerator and a gas fireplace add the details typically associated with higher-priced Eastside homes.
A BACKYARD THAT'S ACTUALLY A BACKYARD.
Each home has a large, fully fenced private yard with lawn, landscaping, a concrete patio, irrigation, front and rear hose bibs, power and a dedicated gas connection for the BBQ.
PARKING WASN'T AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
Each home has its own garage plus a full-size exterior parking space immediately adjacent to the residence, even though an additional exterior space wasn't required for the development.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN.
Each residence has its own address, garage, yard, entrance and individually metered water, power and gas, giving the homes the independence buyers expect from detached living.
BUILT FOR THE NORTHWEST.
Hardie siding, efficient heat-pump mini-splits, irrigation and energy-conscious systems were selected for long-term everyday living.
THREE HOMES, NOT FOUR
The site could have accommodated another residence. Instead, Itama Bay was designed around three detached homes, creating more room for private yards, full-size exterior parking, easier vehicle circulation and greater separation between neighbors.
The objective was simple: build three homes that feel like individual homes, not three units placed on the same site.
WELL CONNECTED
EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
Groceries, coffee, pharmacy, restaurants and everyday services are within walking distance, with Safeway and Starbucks just across the main road. Juanita, Totem Lake and additional shopping, dining and services are only a few minutes away.
MULTIPLE WAYS TO GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING
Positioned west of I-405 near Juanita-Woodinville Way, Itama Bay provides convenient access north or south on I-405 while 100th Avenue connects directly toward Kirkland, Kenmore and Bothell. It's a location that gives you options rather than relying on one route in and out.

Close enough to make everyday life easier. Central enough to give you options.
KIRKLAND LIFESTYLE
A WATERFRONT CITY YOU ACTUALLY USE
Walk the marina, launch a boat downtown, paddle from Juanita Beach, take the dog to a waterfront park or simply find a bench and stay awhile. Lake Washington isn't something you only look at in Kirkland. It's part of how people spend their time here.
A DOWNTOWN WITH A SMALLER-CITY PACE
Coffee shops, restaurants, independent businesses, the library, parks and the waterfront are concentrated into a downtown that's active without feeling like a major urban center. Meet someone for coffee, work from a café, walk the marina, have dinner or stay for live music without making an entire day out of it.
PARKS, TRAILS + PLACES TO PLAY
Walk or bike the Cross Kirkland Corridor, play pickleball at Peter Kirk Park, explore the wetlands and wildlife at Juanita Bay Park, or spend an afternoon at Juanita Beach. Kirkland combines recreation with an extensive network of neighborhood and waterfront parks.
SUMMER FEELS LIKE SUMMER HERE
Waterfront markets, live music, boating, swimming, paddleboards, volleyball, outdoor dining and community events bring people outside. In 2026, weekly markets run at both Marina Park and Juanita Beach through the summer.
AND WINTER DOESN'T SHUT IT DOWN
Seasonal skating, holiday events, restaurants and community gatherings keep downtown active after waterfront season ends. Kirkland's 2026 event program includes its seasonal ice rink alongside a year-round calendar of community events.
LOCAL FAVORITES + ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW
From long-standing Kirkland spots to new restaurants and coffee shops, there's enough variety to have your regular places and still keep discovering something different.
It's the pace, the water, the access and the sense of community that make Kirkland difficult to leave once it feels like home.
NOT WORKING WITH AN AGENT?
Work directly with the developer.
If you're not currently represented by a real estate agent, you can connect directly with the Itama Bay development team to ask questions, schedule a private tour and discuss the process of purchasing one of the homes.
