Property Description

 

Welcome to this Pacific Northwest retreat with timeless character and modern comforts. Tucked among mature trees and lush, established landscaping, this one-of-a-kind home blends the warmth of a mountain cabin with thoughtful modern updates. Multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to slow down...birdwatch, gather at the firepit, or simply relax. A remarkable detached outbuilding with lofted ceilings offers endless possibilities, ready to become a guest suite, creative studio, home office, or personal hideaway. Inside, original hardwoods, rich wood finishes, and exceptional trim work create a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. The dedicated office features expansive windows and oversized French doors, filling the space with natural light and connecting seamlessly to the outdoors. The kitchen showcases granite countertops, abundant custom storage, and an easy flow into the dramatic great room. Cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and French doors opening to a secluded patio and deck make this an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Few properties offer this degree of privacy, tranquility, and connection to nature while remaining so close to everyday conveniences. Here, you can enjoy a true retreat just moments from Lake Forest Park Town Center, the Burke-Gilman Trail, shops, dining, and light rail. Welcome home!
