Welcome to Cypress Ridge-a peaceful, private community of just eight homes where townhouse living feels refreshingly more like a single-family home. Tucked away down a private drive and quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully cared-for home offers a rare combination of privacy, outdoor space and convenience. Alderwood Mall, restaurants, shopping, light rail and freeway access are all just minutes away, yet once you're home, the setting feels wonderfully removed from it all. Inside, an updated modern kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, bamboo hardwood flooring, and a cozy gas fireplace create comfortable, stylish living spaces. Three generous bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with private bath, while heated bathroom floors add a little everyday luxury. A two-car garage plus room for two more vehicles in the driveway gives you something else that can be hard to find in condo living-plenty of parking. But the backyard may steal the show. The sunny, level and fully fenced yard is unusually large for a townhouse or condo, with room to garden, play, entertain or simply relax outside. A paver patio and beautiful trellis create the perfect setting for summer dinners, weekend barbecues or a quiet morning coffee surrounded by your own garden. It's the low-maintenance convenience of condo ownership without giving up the privacy, garage, parking and backyard lifestyle you'd expect from a single-family home.
