THE HOME
Discover your sanctuary of nature and comfort in tranquil Richmond Highlands.
Mature plantings in the Japanese-style grounds include 3 Japanese maples, 2 cherry trees, 2 plum trees, and 2 rhododendrons. The property enjoys the company of many birds, such as sparrows, robins, blue jays, and hummingbirds, whose melodious and lively chatter creates a peaceful ambiance in the area.
The double-wide, double-deep driveway fits four or more cars, pushing the home further back from the street for added privacy.
Step inside and marvel at the soaring ceilings, gleaming newly refinished hardwood floors, and swanky rock chimney.
The slate floors and rock fireplace impart a sense of nature inside the home. Even though the house has three levels, there are only a few steps to the next level, unlike the 20 steps or so you typically see in a townhome. It’s quite easy to go up and down and doesn’t live like a three-level house.
The foyer is lower than the living room, mimicking the Japanese-style foyer (‘Gen-kan’), where people leave shoes and ascend to the living space. This separates the foyer from the living room nicely without actual visual separation. It also prevents dirt from going into the living space.
Enjoy your meal in the formal dining room with picturesque views of the front and back yards.

The (almost) fully fenced backyard is spacious enough for gardening, pets, play, and whatever you need! Because there are about ten tall trees (mostly pine), during the sizzling summer, this house stays cool. But if it gets too hot, there is Central AC to count on. The house is surrounded by trees, providing plentiful fresh air and oxygen 24/7. From time to time, at night, when everything is quiet, there is the distant sound of a ship (quiet ‘bhooo’ sound) from Puget Sound, like living in a peaceful ocean town.
The cul-de-sac is incredibly quiet and peaceful. Neighbors take care of their houses very well, speaking to their pride in ownership, making the cul-de-sac exceptional in the Richmond Highlands area.
If you love nature and outdoor activities, this home is perfect for you. You’ll be within walking distance of Boeing Creek and Shoreview Park, two amazing parks that offer scenic trails, lush forests, and sparkling streams. You can hike, bike, picnic, or just enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views. And if you have a furry friend, you’ll be happy to know that Shoreview Park has an off-leash area where your dog can run free and socialize with other pups. You’ll also be close to Richmond Beach, where you can relax on the sand, swim in the water, or watch the sunset. This home is a rare find for nature lovers who want to live in a convenient location.
Enjoy the best of both worlds in this charming home nestled in the evergreen-rich Richmond Highlands neighborhood. You’ll love the convenience of having Town & Country Market just minutes away, where you can find a variety of high-quality, healthy, and delicious foods to suit your taste buds. Whether you crave fresh seafood, grass-fed meat, organic produce, or international cuisine, you’ll find it all at this local gem. And when you want to explore city life, you’re only a short drive from Seattle and Edmonds, where you can experience the culture, entertainment, and excitement of urban living. But at the end of the day, you can retreat to your peaceful wooded sanctuary and relax in the serenity of nature. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a home that offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.
