Here the cul-de-sac ends and the forest begins. Offered for the first time in 30+ years, this rare 4-bedroom rambler offers 2,031 sq ft of single-level living on nearly 1/3 acre w/double gated access. Tucked at the end of a no-through street, it backs to a peaceful wooded setting that feels removed from it all, yet sits just 2 miles from Mill Creek Town Center. Thoughtfully expanded and reimagined, the open-concept kitchen, living and dining areas flow around a generous island, with a walk-in pantry adding function. Four bedrooms are joined by a flexible bonus room with separate exterior access, ideal as a potential 5th bedroom, guest retreat, home office or second living space. Outside, the fully fenced backyard opens to a SE-facing deck, private 2024 hot tub and tree-lined privacy, with morning sun and welcome afternoon shade. An energy-efficient heat pump provides summer cooling and winter warmth, complemented by 2 gas fireplaces, responsive gas cooktop and 2 connections on the PVC deck all powered by propane. Major updates include a new 2023 fence, 2024 roof and gutters, 2024 exterior paint and fresh 2026 interior paint, plus vinyl Milgard windows from an earlier remodel, LED lighting throughout and an ecobee thermostat. A hot water recirculation pump provides near-instant hot water throughout the home. [Tesla Charger Included] No HOA, and easy access to I-5, North Creek Trail, parks, shopping, dining and Link light rail complete an exceptional Mill Creek-area lifestyle.
