Breathtaking Mt. Rainer, Cascade, and Lake Washington views from multiple levels in this beautiful 6-bedroom, 4-bath classic Northwest home. This is one of Seattle’s most desirable locations-a peaceful, private neighborhood filled with flowers and trees, made for strolling, with good local schools, just minutes from the beach and athletic fields, the Burke-Gilman, shopping, and dining. A dramatic two-story entry welcomes you with soaring ceilings and dramatic vistas. Freshly refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and freshly painted interiors, decks, and patios make this home move-in ready. Stunning outlooks from the main floor living room, dining room, and guest bedroom will delight visitors. Upstairs is the primary suite and two more bedrooms. The panoramas upstairs are truly spectacular, whether in the master bedroom, its private deck, or eyeing Mt. Rainier while in the master shower. The rare rooftop deck/widow’s walk provides one more vantage point to survey the world. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms plus a large bonus/family room, providing plenty of space for work, play, or guests. With an oversized 2-car garage and easy street parking, vehicles and storage all have a place. This house is the best View Ridge has to offer, and as an added bonus the new owners can bypass the 12-year waitlist to immediately join the View Ridge Swim and Tennis Club – the golden ticket to this friendly community. You have to see this one.
