Property Description
Your nest on the hill awaits with views from every window to feed your soul. This stunning 1889 (finished square feet) 2 bed, 2 bath retreat features enormous decks designed to immerse you in breathtaking Puget Sound vistas and unforgettable evening sunsets. Nestled against a dramatic natural backdrop, the property boasts a high cliff in the backyard with a sweeping, expansive swath of usable land perched safely on the upper side, offering a unique private lookout, garden potential, or a tranquil escape among the trees. Inside, the light-filled layout includes a flexible second floor loft with easy potential to create an additional room, home office, or creative studio. The lower level of the home features a two-car garage with unfinished space for storage and a finished and heated hobby/craft room. Can it get any better, yes, it can with a fully paid for solar system that generates enough power to feed back to the city and get paid back. Experience the ultimate Pacific Northwest lifestyle where privacy, jaw-dropping western exposures, and endless potential seamlessly blend.
