About this home

A RARE BACKYARD BONUS! A private gate connects the fully fenced backyard directly to Clark Lake Park—150 acres of scenic trails, open space & natural beauty. Along with a permanent greenbelt and evergreen backdrop, you'll enjoy quick access for recreation, fishing & dog walking! Tucked at the back of a cul-de-sac, this freshly-painted, stately brick beauty—one of the largest homes in the neighborhood—rests on an impressive 1/3+ acre lot. With four bedrooms upstairs, a main-floor bedroom or den and three bathrooms, there truly is room for everyone! Architectural detail abounds incl vaulted ceilings & skylights creating a bright, airy welcome in the entry, living room and main stairway. The refreshed kitchen features new quartz countertops, a new cooktop and double oven, garden window and walk-in pantry. Fresh paint in the common areas, refinished hardwoods, new living & dining room carpets add move-in-ready appeal. Every upstairs bedroom offers a walk-in closet, while the generous primary suite boasts two walk-in closets + a remodeled bath w/skylight and private toilet room. The primary ensuite was beautifully remodeled in 2018 and the upstairs main bath in 2025. Enjoy year-round comfort with A/C & gas heat. Outside, relax or entertain on the TimberTech deck w/Trex railing while enjoying the private, peaceful, park-like setting. Also featuring 2025 exterior paint, Cascade Mountain views, a custom garden shed, central vacuum, a new gas water heater and abundant attic storage!
