About This Home

In the community of Lakeridge, where sweeping vistas of Lake Washington meet the presence of Mount Baker, this home carries a quiet authority—defined by scale, light, and a sense of arrival that’s hard to ignore. Step inside and feel the volume—expansive living spaces designed for gathering, hosting, and living without limits. Sunlight moves cleanly across hardwood floors upstairs, while the lower level’s modern LVP adds a sharp, grounded edge. The kitchen anchors it all, finished with Jatoba Brown Leathered Quartzite countertops and hand-glazed tile—built for both performance and presence. Just off the kitchen, a covered deck becomes your daily ritual: morning coffee, a good book, a glass of wine, or simply a place to sit and take in the quiet. Outside, the grounds deliver substance and abundance. Mature fig trees, persimmon, plum, and blueberry bushes surround you, anchored by an aged maple—private, productive, and built for long summer evenings and effortless entertaining. Large bedrooms offer space to reset, while key upgrades—including a newer furnace, water heater, and EV-ready garage—support a modern lifestyle. Just minutes from shops, dining, and energy of The Landing, this isn’t just a home—it’s a bold, refined space built for living well and leaving a lasting impression.
