Tucked away in peaceful Sudden Valley, this charming chalet-style home embraces the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, complemented by a warm, cozy interior—one we all aspire to have in our PNW lives. Vaulted knotty pine ceilings are accentuated by natural light streaming in from two sliding glass doors that open to private balconies. Freshly repainted and recarpeted, the home has also been recently updated with air conditioning, new gutters, gutter guards, and more (see feature list). A flat driveway with ample parking leads to an oversized two-car garage complete with a utility sink and plenty of room for your mountain bikes, paddleboards, and golf clubs. The main level features an open-concept kitchen and living area, along with a bedroom, utility room, and bathroom quietly tucked down the hallway for added privacy. Recently updated wood handrail stairs lead you up to a dreamy mezzanine. Here, you’ll find a primary bedroom with a ¾ bath on one side and a private covered balcony on the other. This inviting space beckons new owners to continue the tradition of guitar playing and book reading—or to bring their own vision to this whimsical retreat. Located just minutes from the lake and other Sudden Valley amenities, this home offers both convenience and serenity. You truly have to see this 2-bedroom, 2-bath chalet-style home in person to appreciate the tranquility it has to offer.
