FROM THE SELLER
A little from the sellers about the location, and what they’ll miss about the neighborhood -
“I will miss spending time sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea at any time of the day. It is a
nurturing, healing garden. I love hearing and watching the wind through all of the trees. Every
window looks out onto something green and beautiful. The wood burning fireplace heats the house in the winter. The size of the home is also wonderfully manageable - easy to take care of. All of my neighbors are terrific and we look out for one another. It is a quiet neighborhood, you can hear the birds singing. I will miss the peonies, camellias, lavender, rhody’s and lilacs blooming each spring from planting long ago and have stood the test of time. I love the colors of fall and spring in the yard and neighborhood. I will miss how comfortable and open the home feels. It is a great house with a great vibe. I am excited for the new owner.”
“There is a spectacular maple in my neighbors yard on our shared fence line that turns a gorgeous fiery orange in the fall. All of the colors of spring, the smell of the lilacs and lilies. I have about 60 deep purple irises in the front yard that bloom every spring. There is usually a “Won’t you be my neighbor” potluck every year in August or so but Covid has stopped that for a while. I have a beautiful pink flowering tree in the pack yard as well.”
“All of my life needs are within a 5-10 minute drive: dentist, doctors, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Rite Aid Pharmacy, Dry Cleaners, Doggy Day Care, Bank, Post Office, Garden Store, Lowes, Fred Meyer,tea shop, restaurants. It is easy living. Chambers Bay is a 10 minute drive, freeway is less than 10 minutes away. It is a very walkable neighborhood as well. I walk my dogs all of the time.”
“When dining out we enjoy Boathouse 19 - salmon burger or spinach salmon salad, Spring Lake Cafe - hometown breakfast, Mimi’s Tea Shop, Espresso Yourself - The Gobbler homemade sandwich, Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse -salmon with fried noodles, crab rangoon, and the teppanyaki.”
