Nestled among lush, mature landscaping, this distinctive 1978 Northwest Contemporary offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature. Meandering stone pathways, layered greenery, and a welcoming entry set the tone for a home that feels like a peaceful retreat. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive walls of windows invite natural light to pour in while framing tranquil garden views at every turn. The main living spaces feature warm hardwood floors and a stunning wall of custom built-in bookcases, blending architectural character with everyday comfort. Large sliding glass doors create a seamless flow to the entertainment-sized deck, complete with a pergola, perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing, and year-round enjoyment. The kitchen, with its generous island and adjoining breakfast room, offers an inviting space for casual gatherings and morning light. A main-floor bedroom, currently used as a den, adds flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two baths, include a spacious primary suite with its own ¾ bath and private patio, creating a quiet escape surrounded by greenery. A charming wood staircase leads from one of the bedrooms to a hidden loft space, ideal for guests or a cozy hideaway. The fully fenced yard is truly a gardener’s paradise, thoughtfully designed with winding paths, mature plantings, and multiple outdoor living areas that feel both intimate and serene. Attached garage and A/C add to the amenities!
