About This Home

Offered for the first time in over 30 years, this one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest retreat blends privacy, space, and stunning Puget Sound views from nearly every room. Nestled on nearly an acre, this 4-bed, 3-bath home delivers a true “treehouse” experience surrounded by lush greenery and expansive outdoor living. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a great room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace designed to heat the home. Upstairs, enjoy vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area filled with natural light and panoramic views. It also includes a 5th room that could be used as an office/extra bedroom. Step out to the first deck—perfect for entertaining and soaking in western sunsets. The bedroom level features all four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with deck access and an open ensuite with soaking tub and separate shower. Downstairs, a large recreation room includes a hidden bonus space and access to a covered patio with endless potential. Multiple decks, including one with hot tub hookups and an outdoor fireplace, create seamless indoor-outdoor living with a large lot for gardening, exploring, and playing. Meticulously maintained with a 40-year roof (transferable warranty) and pristine exterior condition—this home is the structural definition of pride of ownership. Don’t let its location fool you, this home is peaceful, tranquil, and a true escape. You truly just have to see it to believe it!
