About This Home
As of September 2021Welcome to the Highlands II, a beautiful neighborhood of tree-lined streets and sidewalks. This home embraces the stunning landscaping with a stunning rock wall and tiered garden with plenty of room to make a Gardener's dreams come true. Whether you take the rock pathway to the separate entrance or use the stairs that connect the backyard to the deck - views of Mt. Baker will invite you in. This home has all the space you need to live life to the fullest: large closets, storage, rec room, dining, den with french doors, mudroom (with optional W/D hookups for a one-level living opportunity since the master is on the main floor) and a walk-in pantry. You're moments away from Lake Padden and top-rated schools - Wade King, Kulshan, and Sehome!
