About this home
Spacious 2 story with sound and mountain views. Bright and roomy living rm with hardwoods coved ceilings and fireplace. Separate dining room and 2 good sized rooms with bath. Upstairs you'll find large master suite with 2 walk-in closets, 3/4 bath, and beautiful views of Puget Sound and Olympics. 2 more bedrooms upstairs and 1 full bath. Lower level basement offers room for finishing and adding living space. Private driveway to detached garage and open backyard space.
Interesting home. Nestle up high off road with steep and winding drive, this house has some very nice water views from the main and upper level. Lower level is mostly unfinished with some work needed on electrical and plumbing (some older romex and...
some galvanized pipes). Main level is open and light except for small kitchen with no fridge or range, and with those appliance in kitchen it will be difficult to maneuver around in it. Upper level has been remodeled throughout with a unique wood panels with laminate finish (24x24), modern wood paneled ceiling, and beautiful wood wrapped windows (some of the flooring is water damaged). Easy attic access from hall closet to huge open space with great ceiling height (some potential there). Over-all, house needs some system work and cosmetic updating throughout.
