Not every split-level feels this connected, to the outdoors or to the way people actually live. The layout naturally separates the main living areas from the lower level, giving everyone room to spread out without feeling disconnected. A floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace on each level adds character, while all three bedrooms and two bathrooms are conveniently located upstairs. Downstairs, the 754 square foot oversized bonus room offers the flexibility to become an additional living room, home office, media room, workout space, hobby room, or whatever works best for you. Step outside from the kitchen onto a spacious deck that overlooks the fully fenced backyard and creates an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. The backyard is also accessible from the lower-level bonus room, garage, and gates on both sides of the property. Mature evergreens, a storage shed, direct access to a walking trail, and plenty of open space make it just as enjoyable for entertaining as it is for everyday use. The covered area beneath the deck also provides a convenient place to gather when the PNW rain rolls through. Conveniently located just 1.8 miles to Hwy 16, 3.5 miles to Long Lake Park, 7.2 miles to the Southworth Ferry, and 9.3 miles to PSNS, with shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences nearby. Comfortable to enjoy today, with plenty of opportunity to make it your own over time.
