Backing to designated green-space, the tree line renders the decks cool in the Summer while fall reveals the Cascade range from all three levels. Ideally located, a private trail leads through maple-lined woods to Forest Park Elementary in about 10 minutes. A rare opportunity to own a view-driven estate that combines privacy, flat outdoor living, and exceptional 2026 updates. [Home Energy Score = 5.
