Modern luxury above the Sound: Experience amazing PNW living in this meticulously reimagined Fauntlee Hills home. Remodeled to the studs in 2013-2014, this modern home blends high-end features with breathtaking natural beauty, offering unobstructed panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, and the rhythmic passage of the ferries. The heart of the home: the chef’s kitchen (fully remodeled in 2022) features a professional appliance suite including a 6-burner Wolf gas range, a Viking double oven with French doors, and a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer. The open-concept main floor highlights the view from all areas, with a wall of windows and 2 sets of French doors that lead to the expansive Western-facing deck. Thoughtful design meets ultimate comfort with a primary suite conveniently located on the entry level. Every bedroom includes custom built-ins, maximizing style and storage. Downstairs boasts full-height living, 3 additional bedrooms, a custom entertainment area and easy access to the huge fenced back yard and spa area – a private sanctuary in a park-inspired setting. The professionally landscaped front yard is a work of art, and also features a tranquil entry water feature and a full sprinkler system. Enjoy total peace of mind with a brand-new roof (Dec 2025), new electrical, and updated plumbing (2014). Whether you’re relaxing in the hot tub or entertaining on the deck, the views remain the star of the show. Enjoy turn-key luxury the moment you arrive.
