Perched atop the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, commanding views of Commencement Bay and Vashon Island; this distinctive home offers a rare combination of privacy, character and an ever-changing Northwest backdrop. Timeless architectural appeal and surreal in-city urban living are found here at this 1970’s A-Frame. From the cedar decks you can meander through the trails on the oversized half acre of property. It’s anchored by evergreens, rhododendrons and the song of local birds and wildlife. It comes as no surprise this special property is changing hands for the first time, ever. Inside, the soaring ceilings of the great room overlook Commencement Bay where you can step outside to the recessed balcony for a private conversation or just because. The primary suite on the main floor enjoys a private deck, two large closets and modernized bath. The loft upstairs serves as both the center of fun gatherings (small wet bar) and supreme home office. Open and spacious, the modern kitchen, dining and living rooms are lined with windows and yet, not a neighbor in sight. New roof, furnace, decks, electrical panel and fully pre-inspected. This is a home buying opportunity you don’t want to miss.
