5126 S Garden Loop Road, Unit 11Seattle, WA 98118Price: $699,000

Looking for complete tranquility even though you also want to be a part of a close-knit community? You'll find both in this lovely stand-alone home on Garden Loop Rd S. Once inside you'll find your only concern for privacy interruption comes in the form of the many flitting birds and skampering squirrels who call Kubota Garden, your new backyard, home. Should you wish to hide away at home and enjoy the forested garden views, you can take your pick of lounging spots--from the spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, the primary suite with its own entrance to the back deck, the chic primary bath with its skylight above, the downstairs family room with its additional lower deck access or even the cozy and bright office if you need to log on for a bit. Adding to your comfort is the wood-burning fireplace, the heat pump system for A/C and heat, the updated kitchen and of course the ability to pull right into the 2 car garage when it's raining. $225/month in HOA dues covers insurance, landscaping, house painting, roof maintenance and replacement when needed. Other perks include a private path to enter Kubota Garden, quick access to I5, light rail and busses, Seward Park, Seatac airport and all those Georgetown, South Park, and Columbia City restaurants you've been meaning to check out.
