Quintessential Pacific Northwest retreat balances architectural detail with an incredible sense of place. The orientation toward Deer Lagoon and Useless Bay highlight a home designed specifically to capture the shifting light over the water with the silhouette of the Cascade Mountains and Mt Rainier. Standout features that make this estate unique include the Great room with custom box beams and French doors suggesting a sophisticated, craftsman-style aesthetic that draws the outdoors in. The cook's kitchen is positioned next to Formal Dining designed for entertaining and guests. There is a dedicated home office, library/den, and the massive 889 sq. ft. studio space with half bath and full sink cabinet above the garage. Here is a dream setting for remote work, creative arts, or a home business. Look further...a separate cottage with three rooms & full bath offers significant flexibility for multi-generational living or long term guests. All laid out on five acres of open space combined with towering firs and wooded tree lines for privacy. There is also a mini orchard creating a true heirloom feel that is uniquely special. A three bay garage conversion currently has two bays as a woodshop but could be converted back for vehicles or toys!
