Few positions on Lake Sammamish rival this one. Sixty feet of no-bank waterfront, a shared dock, and a boat lift place you at the very edge of the water with the lake as a constant presence throughout the home. Expansive windows frame it like a living painting, flooding the open spaces with natural light while the stacked-stone fireplace anchors evenings as the sun fades over the water. The chef's kitchen and adjoining living spaces flow seamlessly together, open and connected, with the view never out of sight. The main-floor primary suite is a genuine rarity, paired with a five-piece spa bath that invites a slower morning. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer room for everyone, and the lower level functions as a world of its own with a second full kitchen, bonus room, and flexible bedroom or office. Outside, both the deck and patio are plumbed for natural gas, native landscaping lines the water's edge, and the dock sees its own seasonal rhythms, including the return of native sea run cutthroat trout each fall. Privacy comes naturally here, the home oriented so thoughtfully toward the lake that the rest of the world quietly disappears.
