1455 northwest 185th street

Tucked toward the end of a cul-de-sac, a professionally designed garden transforms the approach to this home into a private retreat. Towering evergreens, mature maples, and basalt boulders frame a koi pond and a small waterfall. Quiet and secluded, year-round. This is Innis Arden at its best. Step through the front door, and southern exposure and vaulted ceilings fill the home with light, drawing your eye straight to massive views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The main floor flows from the great room to the kitchen: oversized island, five-burner gas cooktop with griddle, double oven, and a pantry tucked neatly away. A den with a gas fireplace, a quiet spot to gather any time of day. French doors lead out to a deck built for entertaining, looking over an expansive yard with a private pickleball court, multiple outdoor living areas, and a grilling station. Tiered gardens, a fruit orchard, and raised beds round it out. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite has a soaking tub, steam shower, heated floors, and a large walk-in closet with French doors and water views. Two more bedrooms and a bath complete the upper level. Downstairs, a family room with kitchenette opens to a private patio, hot tub, and outdoor dining space. A three-quarter bath and a generous fourth bedroom, with room for an office, complete the lower level. Innis Arden amenities: pool, tennis courts, and private saltwater beach access. Additional features: two-car garage and pull-down attic storage.
