The story
Built by Murray Franklyn, this Ketcham Knoll home pairs quality craftsmanship and understated luxury with the updates that make everyday living more comfortable. Upgrades include a new water heater, furnace, and A/C installed in 2022, stainless steel appliances added in 2024, and a new privacy fence completed in 2026. The granite kitchen opens to a welcoming great room anchored by a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and detailed millwork. Five true bedrooms include a flexible main-floor option for guests or a private office, while the expansive upstairs bonus room creates a separate setting for movies, play, fitness, or work. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with custom mood lighting for relaxation, a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and dual sinks. Outside, the private, low-maintenance backyard is easy to enjoy year-round. Neighborhood parks and trails complement the setting, with Chambers Bay, Whole Foods, and University Place schools just minutes away.
