A rare Pacific Northwest retreat in sought-after Park Trails. Set on a private 1/3-acre lot, this distinctive home backs to more than 5 acres of protected native-growth green space, creating exceptional privacy and peaceful evergreen views. A beautiful wraparound porch offers the perfect place to relax and take in the serene wooded setting. Inside, expansive recently upgraded windows fill the home with natural light and frame the surrounding greenery. Rich hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings and inviting fireplaces add warmth and character, while the spacious kitchen features cherry cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A dedicated main-level office provides an ideal work-from-home space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms and an impressive bonus room offering endless possibilities for work, play or entertainment. An oversized 3-car garage, 50-year roof, zoned sprinkler system, EV charging and generator wiring complete this unique home—private and peaceful, yet convenient to I-5, Seattle and Tacoma.
