Rarely available on the greenbelt in sought-after Lake Forest Estates, this beautifully maintained home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space and community amenities. Set against a lush backdrop of mature evergreens, the expansive backyard feels like a private retreat, with manicured lawns, established landscaping, a generous entertaining deck and plenty of room to gather, garden or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. Inside, hardwood floors carry through the light-filled main level, where large windows frame views of the surrounding greenery. The kitchen opens naturally to the dining and living spaces and directly to the backyard, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The versatile floor plan offers five bedrooms, with the fifth equally well suited as a spacious bonus room, media room or home office. A three-car garage provides an added level of storage and flexibility. Beyond the property itself, Lake Forest Estates offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find, including access to the community’s private beach and neighborhood amenities. With its coveted greenbelt location, remarkable backyard and established neighborhood setting, this is a unique opportunity to own something special in the heart of Maple Valley.
