Welcome to 5.16 private acres of pure NW magic, where peaceful mornings unfold around nature that become part of your everyday life. A well-lit, automated gated entrance, off a paved private street, leads past an open field that features a detached 2-car garage/shop with its own electric meter & 50-amp EV/RV outlet-ideal for a home business, storage, or potential ADU. Continue driving through a picturesque grove of evergreens, arriving at another detached 2-car garage & the beautifully maintained 2,944 SF, 4 bed, 3 bath home. The main level welcomes you with a cozy living room, wood-burning stove & warm wood accents. The spacious kitchen offers an abundance of wood cabinetry & counter space, flowing seamlessly onto the composite deck overlooking the private backyard and enchanting second-growth forest. Retreat to the main-floor primary suite with an ensuite bath & dual closets. Thoughtful features include AC, skylights & beautiful vertical-grain Douglas fir trim. Exceptionally well-mainted and move-in ready. The walk-out lower level features generous great room, 2 additional bedrooms, full bath, & abundant storage. Outside, the partially fenced forest acreage is fully marked & provides trails throughout! Gather around the firepit, tend to the fenced garden, enjoy the expansive level lawn or take advantage of the two 30' covered RV parking spaces. Located in Tahoma School District with easy commute to Bellevue and Eastgate, this is a rare North Maple Valley retreat!
