If you are looking for lots of room and privacy in the great outdoors, while being within minutes of the amenities of modern living, this home may be for you. If you admire traditional quality features, such as natural wood construction, skylight, fireplaces, and wood-lined double closets, you should come take a look. Situated on over two acres of lush native greenery, this property offers space for privacy and a large garden. For your faithful vehicles, you will have a double garage with an additional parking area and a separate building capable of holding two RVs or additional storage. The workshop building has a pit under where one of the vehicles would be parked, in case a car enthusiast or mechanic might be interested in knowing about that. The upstairs of this home features a living room with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto native cedar and maple trees, along with a host of rhododendrons. A sliding door leads to the wrap-around deck, which has plenty of room for outdoor furniture. The built-in deck barbeque offers the option of some outdoor cooking. The dining area is situated between the living room and kitchen, for convenience, or in case you prefer your meals inside. (The western Washington rains are notorious!) The kitchen overlooks the blueberry patch and the spacious backyard, in case you should need a visual reprieve from the mundane task of cooking. The kitchen also features a nook for casual dining. Each of the two bedrooms on the top level of the house is large enough to easily accommodate a queen-sized bed and feature two double closets. Two additional bedrooms downstairs, plus an office space, offer flexibility to multi-person households. The downstairs also features a large space suitable for a second living room and dining area or a recreation room. An insert in the downstairs fireplace provides an opportunity to experience the coziness of a wood fire, should you wish. The newly redone bathroom features an oversized shower with a rainfall shower head. The washer and dryer are located in a large room that could easily accommodate a variety of other purposes. There is ample storage space throughout the house, including a cellar. The lighted courtyard, located between the house and garage, features a propane barbecue Because the 300 square-foot area is enclosed. It might also be a suitable enclosure for a pet. Speaking of practical matters, the house is warmed and cooled by seven heat pumps, which have been shown to be an economical choice. There is no homeowner's association to tack on additional expenses. The rental price includes upkeep of the landscaping so you don't have to do it. Wanting the new occupants of the house to be happy with their choice, the landlords will allocate $2,000 on the anniversary of each year's occupancy so that the tenants may suggest improvements to the house or grounds. The landlords are the owners of the property, and they have been tasked by the previous owner with preserving the property in its natural state as much as possible for as long as possible. They are interested in maintaining the property in good condition and in taking care of any problems as they arise. If this sounds like a good fit, we hope you will come by and see if this home is a place where you can thrive. Landlord is responsible for yardwork and maintenance. The two drive-in bays of the workshop are for tenant's use. No smoking allowed. Lease agreement is for 1 year. One month's damage deposit and first month's rent are due at move-in or first of month, whichever occurs first. Have government issued ID, proof of adequate income, good credit history, and references. Rent to income ratio: 1:3 or 33%. A verifiable reusable tenant screening report is acceptable.
