About this home
Set high above Puget Sound within the gated Chuckanut Crest community, this custom home is defined as much by its architecture as its setting. Panoramic 180-degree water views, soaring 25-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and walls of glass create a seamless connection between the home and the landscape. The original architectural character remains intact, while a thoughtful refresh introduces a lighter, contemporary aesthetic. Many of the home's most significant improvements have been completed, offering the next owner the opportunity to continue its evolution while honoring its original design. Partially refinished hardwood floors, fresh white walls, and nearly all-new windows bring warmth and natural light throughout. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace anchors the living room beneath the vaulted ceilings, while the newly installed NanaWall in the primary suite opens completely to the outdoors. Upstairs, the primary bathroom has been updated with clean, contemporary finishes that complement the home's natural materials. The lower-level guest residence has been refreshed with a new kitchen, updated flooring, and fresh paint. A spacious four-car garage provides exceptional storage and flexibility. Outside, expansive decks, newer siding, and a standing-seam metal roof provide durability with minimal maintenance. Every room was designed to frame the landscape, where changing light, passing boats, and unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life.
