Casa Brilhante e Elegante na Floresta, Perto da Microsoft, Trilhas e Compras

Our house was completely remodeled in 2017, creating a stylish open plan living and dining area with vaulted ceilings, a granite and stainless steel kitchen with two sinks and a huge island for cooking and conversation -- and four bar stools for breakfast and snacks. Since these photos were posted we have a new stainless refrigerator with an ice maker, and a 36-inch gas range.

The gathering area next to the kitchen has a wood stove for cozy ambiance. The decor in the living and dining areas is mid-century modern, heated and cooled by a brand new heat pump. The living room has a leather couch and leather ottoman, two swivel chairs, marble and brass side tables, and a separate reading area. The brass and glass dining table seats 8.

We have a new flat screen smart TV, and full internet service and wi-fi.

The master bedroom has a king bed and a big ensuite bathroom with a heated tile floor, marble counters, and a large walk-in shower with two shower heads. A second large bedroom has a queen bed, and the third and fourth bedrooms have twin-size daybeds with twin-size trundles. These three bedrooms are served by a new hall bathroom with a tub and shower, lots of counter space and seamless surfaces.

Outside two sets of sliding doors in the living room is a covered patio with a table and six chairs and a gas grill. We have a fire pit in the backyard, and a basketball hoop in the driveway. The main garage holds two cars and a second garage holds one car. There is unlimited outside parking. A mudroom entry is accessed from both the front parking area and the garage, with storage for cleaning equipment and essentials.

We have a separate laundry room, with an ironing board and iron and a folding table.

Over the detached shop is a game room with full-size pool table, dart board, game tables, sound bar and small refrigerator -- perfect for the big kids.

The house is on 13 acres of evergreen woods -- you will see deer and barred owls, and in the summer pick apples and blackberries. We are minutes away from classic bike and hiking trails, such as the 30-mile Burke-Gilman Trail.

The nearest supermarket and gas station are less than a mile away. You will be six miles from downtown Redmond, home of Microsoft headquarters, a Whole Foods, a world-class shopping center, and a variety of dining spots. The house is 10 miles from Woodinville, the Northwest's premier winery destination, with 140 wineries, wine bars and tasting rooms, including the iconic Chateau Ste-Michelle and its musical performance venue. There are artisanal breweries springing up as well.

Downtown Seattle is 25 miles away, and there is a frequent express bus from downtown Redmond. SeaTac International Airport is 30 miles from Redmond.
