The story
Elm Tree Lane is one of Union Hill's quietest places — established, well-kept, and close enough to the tech corridor without feeling like it. The home sits in unincorporated King County, which means lower sales tax on deliveries and labor and no RTA tax. The lot is almost an acre, fully fenced. Blue heron and deer are regulars. The Chaffey build quality shows in the details: two-story foyer, hardwood floors, wainscoting, trayed ceilings, and a layout that separates formal and informal spaces without making either feel small. Updated kitchen with a walk-in pantry has quartz counters, new stainless appliances, a gas cooktop and is open to the family room. Primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet and a five-piece bath — soaking tub under a skylight. Second bedroom with its own en suite for guests or multigenerational use. Four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, main-floor office, three-car garage. Central AC, generator, 50-year warranted roof. Outside, the backyard with mature trees, a patio and new deck overlook a shy acre of protected open space. Lake Washington School District — Tesla STEM High School and Redmond High School are both within the boundary, two of the strongest public schools in the state. SR 520 and I-405 put Microsoft, Google, and the rest of the eastside employment base well under twenty minutes. The street is quiet and private, tucked away enough that it feels removed from everything while being close to all of it.
