From the road, a thick hedge & horseshoe drive conceal a secret; just beyond, where the Sound stretches below & the Olympics hold the horizon, waits a sanctuary. This Spanish Revival estate unfolds slowly: first the maintained stucco facade & updated roof tiles, then a new Provia front door beckons you. Inside, the buzz of the outside world gives way to quiet elegance. Designer light fixtures, arched thresholds, & vaulted ceilings rise over deep wood floors. In the living room, wide windows dressed in custom linen curtains frame views of the Sound & Olympics, where you'll bask in the crescendo of sunset. The study's fireplace wears hand-fired Cotto tile, wood-ash finished near San Miguel de Allende, no two pieces alike. The kitchen serves double ovens, a wine fridge, & a second deck. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet & a spa-worthy bath with radiant heat, a towel warmer, & views from the soaking tub. The lower level renders remarkable functionality: open internally as one residence, or closed as private quarters, equally dynamic as it is beautiful. Updated electrical, plumbing, & ADT security support it all amongst an array of thoughtful maintenance. Perched on nearly an acre, the backyard lives like a private park: a fire pit, putting green, & garden beds above, a flat lawn dotted with mature trees, & a covered patio, enclosed by fence & hedge. All of this, & more, waits for its next steward, the one called to honor the symphony of quiet elegance already composed.
