True one-level living is hard to find — and one-level living in Matthews Beach, on an oversized lot, with a three-car garage? Rarer still. This single-story rambler has a layout all its own, drenched in natural light from skylights and walls of windows in nearly every room. Refinished hardwoods gleam through the spacious living and family rooms, each warmed by its own brick fireplace — including a striking navy-painted hearth that anchors the family room. The heart of the home may be the window-wrapped sunroom: skylights above, gardens on three sides, and enough space to serve as a retreat, studio, or unforgettable entertaining room. The updated kitchen offers crisp white cabinetry and stainless appliances, flowing to a skylit dining area, and the generous bedrooms continue the hardwoods with ample closet space. Two beautifully updated baths add character — one with a vintage clawfoot tub, the other with a tiled walk-in shower. Storage is a standout — the three-car garage is just the start, with abundant under-home and cellar space for tools, toys, and hobbies. Out back, a fenced patio sits beneath a magnificent mature tree. Stroll to Matthews Beach Park and Lake Washington, hop on the Burke-Gilman Trail, and enjoy easy access to light rail, shopping, and sought-after schools. Homes like this don't linger.
