If you enjoy absolute peace and quiet without being too far out from the hustle and bustle of Bellevue or Seattle, this beautiful custom built home located on 1 1/3 acres on top of Cougar Mountain in Issaquah is just for you. As you approach this property, you cannot help but take a moment to immerse yourself in the dramatic estate-like curb appeal. Moving through the automated, custom-built wrought iron gate and up the 150-foot ivy-lined driveway, you quickly discover the entire property is beautifully landscaped and fully enclosed by post-and-rail fencing. As you look to your left, you see a large slate rock gathering area with a fire pit for those weekend get-togethers with family & friends. When viewed at night, the landscape comes to life with thoughtful accent lighting intended to illuminate your way. The backyard was intentionally designed with safety, privacy and maximum usability in mind. It is highlighted by a basketball half-court with pro-style backboard, outdoor hot tub & gazebo, spacious decking, custom built waterfall, & a private sitting area for those moments when you just want to catch your breath. Add to that a large dog kennel for the pups, a storage shed for the tools, gas cans and lawnmower, an automated backup power generator for when the city power goes out, and a full blown security system. The garage has 3 bays; two for cars and one 25-foot extended bay for a boat and trailer. Lots of extra overhead storage was added to reduce garage clutter and make it easier to move around. The interior has to be experienced to be fully appreciated but would be best characterized as a very warm, family-friendly place with a blend of sophisticated finishes with the essence of NW charm. As you enter through the dramatic front entry way, you are immediately struck by the beautifully ornate custom iron railings, gorgeous walnut stairway and intricate finishes. As you glance to your right, you see a den loaded with custom built bookshelves, a one-of-a-kind credenza, and a spacious desk area. Around the corner, the family room and kitchen area was intentionally left connected and wide open to ensure the best family vibe and is highlighted by a recently refinished set of custom kitchen cabinets, Corian countertops, a warm river rock fireplace, and restful views of the backyard deck and waterfall. Upstairs highlights include a spacious master bedroom with two walk-in closets, a large bathroom with a marble tub, and gorgeous views of the backyard and sport court. One of the two additional bedrooms has a cozy, private loft area and the other has arguably the best view in the entire house. Round that out with a spacious bonus room for comfortably kicking back to watch those Seahawk games on your big screen TV and you literally find yourself never wanting to leave this spectacular home.
