Coffee on the dock. Kayak before noon. Home by the fire by evening. This is Star Lake.Tucked into one of King County's best-kept secrets, this beautifully updated lakefront home offers something increasingly rare: genuine peace. As a non-motorized lake, Star Lake stays quiet year-round — no gas-powered boats, no noise, just the sound of water and the kind of stillness that's hard to find this close to the city.Loved by the same family since 2005, this home has been thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter. A roof just 1.5 years old, a new furnace, and ice-cold AC mean the big-ticket items are done. Every surface has been touched — this is move-in ready in the truest sense.Inside, three bedrooms upstairs and one oversized bedroom on the lower level offer flexibility for guests or a work-from-home setup that actually has a view. Massive windows frame the lake so closely you'll feel perched right at the water's edge, even from the couch. Outside, a private dock, terraced yard, and sweeping lake views set the scene for summer mornings, campfire evenings, and everything in between. Swim, paddleboard, kayak, fish or just sit and breathe.And when the real world calls? Light rail is minutes away and I-5 access is a breeze. You're not giving up convenience for tranquility here. You're getting both.Star Lake doesn't come up often. This one is ready now, right before summer.
