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 dream kitchen with two sinks and a huge island for cooking and conversation -- and four bar stools for breakfast and snacks. We have a big stainless refrigerator with an ice maker, a microwave, a 36-inch gas range, blenders, coffee makers, a full set of top end cookware, good knives, and china, cutlery and glassware for eight or more.

The gathering area next to the kitchen has a wood stove for cozy ambiance in colder months. 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 ottomans, five comfortable chairs, marble and brass side tables, great lighting 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, a gas grill and a gas-powered fire pit. We have a wood fire pit and outdoor furniture in the backyard, and a basketball hoop in the driveway. The main garage holds two cars. 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 house-keeping essentials.

We have a gorgeous office/laundry room, with an ironing board and iron, and a big table for folding clothes and doing crafts. For remote work, we have a computer desk and office chair and a printer with paper and ink.

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 may 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 Costco, a charming world-class shopping center, and a variety of dining spots from McDonalds to gourmet Northwest cuisine. The house is 15 minutes 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.
