Enjoy nature without acreage responsibility at this beautifully located Ariel home. Nestled among trees and bordered by a year-round creek, the property offers exceptional privacy, the gentle sound of flowing water, and wooded views from nearly every room. A private path leads you down to the creek for peaceful moments by the water. Fresh exterior paint enhances curb appeal. Inside, bamboo flooring graces the main level, flowing into a custom entertainer’s kitchen. The oversized island seats five and features backlit granite inserts, butcher block counters, a walk-in pantry, and handcrafted tile backsplash. The open-concept great room transitions into the luxurious main-floor primary suite overlooking the forest. The remodeled en-suite bath includes exquisite tile work, heated floors, a rain shower beneath a skylight, and a meticulously designed walk-in closet. A second main-floor bathroom boasts heated floors, new tile, and a deep soaking tub. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms enjoy treetop views—one with private en-suite, the other with an attached utility room, perfect for an office, studio, or craft space. The home includes an attached garage with built-in cabinetry and a second remote-access garage; both offer 240 V power. Outside, you’ll find covered RV/boat parking (with 240 V), greenhouse, raised beds, garden shed, well house, and a charming outdoor shower—ideal for rinsing after boating at nearby Speelyai Bay Park. For outdoor enthusiasts, Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is within a scenic 30-mile drive. Recent upgrades include a warrantied heat pump and a 250-gallon propane tank that conveys with the property. This is a move-in ready PNW gem combining comfort, forested tranquility, smart upgrades, and strong outdoor access.
