About This Home

As of June 2014

3-Star Built Green Urban Treehouse! Nestled on a quiet street and yet close to so many amenities, this '06-'07 re-imagining of a 1911 craftsman cottage will steal your heart. The previous owners methodically re-designed the roofline, flooding interior spaces with natural light to take full advantage of the dramatic Sound & Olympic views. Flexible floorplan with lots of outdoor space seamlessly melds indoors & out. Low-maintenance native landscaping. Great townhome alternative, privacy abounds.
