About this property

Close to everything, but far enough above it to never feel the grind. Sushi, authentic Mexican, pub fare, Kent Station, and the Sounder are five minutes down the hill, but you come home to quiet Scenic Hill streets. Standing-seam metal roof, hardwood floors, refreshed paint, durable deck, and reliable appliances. Years of maintenance runway... so spend your weekends actually using the house instead of fixing it. This massive deck easily holds a crowd—with space left over for your secret cigar spot. Downstairs, the dedicated media room lets subwoofers hit full cinematic volume while the kids study in silence upstairs. Pure immersion downstairs, uninterrupted focus upstairs. Win-win. At 3,580 sq. ft. across two finished levels, this isn't suburban sardine living. Upstairs stays calm while the daylight basement absorbs the chaos. In-laws, teens, or multiple generations get their own bedrooms, baths, and living space. Grade-insulated framing and masonry hearths let you crank tube amps or drum kits without rattling bedrooms or annoying neighbors. The cavernous rec room gives you acreage under drywall for simulators, a sprawling rail empire, or deep storage. Park the boat, RV, or the container of hunting gear your uncle left you—zero HOA restrictions. Includes an attached two-car garage, expansive driveway, and an installed 70-amp power drop ready for heavy gear. Real utility, zero suburban rules.
