Surrounded by the natural beauty of Sudden Valley’s desirable Gate 2, this classic home has the charm and warmth of a treehouse combined with the possibilities that come with a large, flat, and sunny lot. This home has been meticulously maintained and recently refreshed. With a new roof, fresh interior paint throughout, new flooring, a new range in the kitchen, and a hot water heater from 2022, you can buy with confidence knowing the major items have already been taken care of for you. The split levels add architectural interest while the open floor plan helps this home live large. The primary suite stands alone upstairs with its own deck, making for a private retreat. The main level accommodates all of the daily routines with two additional bedrooms or space for an office, the generous living area decorated with cedar paneling, space for dining, and the kitchen. Want to truly make your mark? Finish the plumbed and wired daylight basement in your design to add more square footage. Multiple decks, and a concrete patio accessible via the daylight basement, also expand the living space and seamlessly blend with the outdoors. With a tranquil setting, access to all Sudden Valley amenities including nearby beaches, golf, and trails, plus massive potential to customize, this is your chance to create a true PNW dream home.
