Most of this house happens on one floor, and that turns out to be the point. The primary suite runs the east end: vaulted, a fireplace in the corner, a soaking tub set into a bay window. A second bedroom, full bath and laundry sit down the hall, with Sapele cabinetry, granite and quartz in between. Upstairs is the part buyers will not see coming: a 23-foot family room in the treetops, wet bar, bedroom and bath of its own. A guest wing, in-law suite? Then there is the backyard, the real reason to come see it. Firs and cedars close it off, so what you hear out there is birds. Gravel paths curve past rhododendrons, Japanese maples and climbing roses to a large patio under the trees, a quiet seat by the garden, and a hot tub on the deck that stays. A gorgeous backyard sanctuary that blooms every season. Quiet cul-de-sac, oversized garage, minutes to the Trolley Trail.
