Some homes check boxes. This one changes the way you think about what is possible. Tucked into one of Issaquah's most beloved neighborhoods, this remodeled mid-century modern comes with something few homes offer — a completely renovated, fully private ADU with its own entrance, patio, kitchen, and bath. Whether that means your au pair has a real home of their own, or a tenant quietly subsidizes your mortgage every month, this lower level suite genuinely changes the math on homeownership. And the main level? Also remodeled. Warm wood beams, soaring vaulted ceilings, and walls of windows that pour light into every corner. New interior doors and trim throughout, a stunning spa-like primary bath, and a walk-in closet that finally does the job. A new roof and exterior paint under 3 year old means the outside is set for years. The kind of home where you move in and simply live — no project list waiting for you. Step outside to a level yard, blooming hydrangeas, and a creek that makes the backyard feel like a nature preserve. Stay long enough and you might catch paragliders drifting silently down from Poo Poo Point — one of those only-in-Issaquah moments that becomes part of your daily rhythm. Walk to parks, trails, the Salmon Hatchery, and the library. Minutes from Front Street, Fins Bistro, and the traditions — Salmon Days, the 4th of July parade — that make people stay in Issaquah for decades.
