Tucked against a greenbelt on a quiet corner lot, this house feels like home from the first swing of the cherry red front door. With neighbors on just one side and greenery standing guard on another, this rare lot in the Pasadera community invokes feelings of spaciousness, privacy, and freedom. Step into the yard and you'll find raspberry bushes ready for summer snacking as well as mature rose & lilac shrubs that previous owners tended with real care. But don't worry - there's plenty of space for you to make your mark on the landscape with your dream array of ornamentals or tasty veggies. Downstairs, south-facing windows defy long Pacific Northwest winters, opening the living space up to year-round sunshine. With a kitchen pantry in addition to plentiful garage storage, go WILD on those Costco runs and STILL have space for your camping gear! Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet and full ensuite bathroom with tub. But the real star of the show is the community itself. Just a short jaunt down the road, chat with neighbors in the nearby park or take evening strolls through the neighborhood and wooded paths. Just minutes from Lake Stevens' lakefront parks, swimming beaches, and downtown shops and restaurants, the water is never far when you want it, and neither is your morning coffee. If you're looking for community while retaining privacy, and proximity without losing peace, this home may be just what you've been looking for.
