A hidden retreat in the heart of North City, this beautiful home brings together nature, light and thoughtful design in a setting that feels both grounded and restorative. Classic formal spaces feature oak hardwoods, wood stove, and period built-ins that reflect its timeless character, while the expansive studio-style great room serves as the heart of the home with vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and serene garden views that keep the outdoors ever present. The light-filled kitchen opens seamlessly to an expansive deck and covered patio, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living that supports both everyday life and effortless entertaining. The private primary suite overlooks a peaceful courtyard and lush gardens, offering a quiet sense of retreat, complemented by three additional bedrooms, a lower-level recreation room, and dedicated office that provides flexibility for work and guests. The grounds feel park-like yet intentionally maintained, with orchard, greenbelt backdrop, and layered landscaping that create privacy and a sense of calm throughout the seasons. Newer roof, sewer line, interior paint, waterproofing and more! Pre-inspected. A great commuter location with nearby light rail providing easy access to downtown, Lynnwood, Federal Way, and Redmond. Deeded access to Lake Forest Park Civic Club for private beach, clubhouse and boat launch! A rare combination of setting, space and nature; this home lives in quiet balance with its surroundings while staying closely connected to the city.
