About this home

Watch the eagles soar over the Puget Sound from any level of this beautiful contemporary 3 Tree Point home. Mt. Rainier peering back at you as you enjoy your morning coffee from any of the 5 decks. Plenty of natural light and views from every room of the home. Thoughtful architecture at every turn, formal sunken living room with cathedral ceilings, formal dining room, nicely appointed open concept kitchen with slab granite counters that seem to flow directly into the Puget Sound. Breakfast nook atrium, wine bar, family room with freestanding wood burning stove complete the main floor. Oversized Primary Suite with 5 pc En suite sits a top of it all. Lower level is all about gatherings, full bar, curl up for movie, or the perfect M cave
