What a custom home design project looks like here

Madison Valley is the inland companion to Madison Park — 1915-1970 Craftsman + Tudor + MCM stock without the waterfront premium.

Because the neighborhood is a Residential Urban Village, DADU/AADU development has accelerated since 2019.

Washington Park Arboretum adjacency shapes property values and view protection dynamics.

Ground-up residential — design through SDCI permit through CO. ECA + Seattle Energy Code adds 6-12 weeks on sloped / tree-canopy lots. In Madison Valley specifically, craftsman stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
