Set in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Shoreline among towering Douglas firs, this treehouse-like retreat pairs everyday comfort with an unbeatably convenient location, just minutes from two light rail stations for an easy trip to the airport or downtown. A vaulted entryway glows with windows, brightening the stairwell and 2nd-floor landing. The main level opens to leafy views from the living room and kitchen, plus picture windows above the fireplace frame seasonal color. A main-floor bedroom or library makes a quiet escape. Upstairs, a sunny landing offers flexible space for a reading nook or home office, while two bedrooms look out over a quiet streetscape, set apart from yet close to the primary suite, a true nest in the branches with backyard canopy views. Downstairs, a walkout basement adds a bonus room, flex/storage space, and a private guest bedroom. Bathrooms on every level make hosting effortless. Outside, a fully fenced yard offers low-maintenance native gardens front and back, a shaded patio, a front porch, and a deck with green vistas to the northeast. But it is the location that truly sets this home apart: minutes from a grass field and stream, close to light rail for quick access to Seattle and Sea-Tac, and centrally positioned between Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Kenmore, and Shoreline, with shopping, libraries, trails, and farmers markets all within easy reach.
