High on Cougar Mountain, where the trees open to Lake Sammamish, the valley, and mountains beyond, this home offers craftsmanship and a setting that are hard to replicate. Vaulted ceilings with timber beams run through the main living space, where a floor to ceiling river rock fireplace anchors the room and oak floors carry into a dining area wrapped in windows above the deck. The kitchen offers stone counters and updated appliances and opens to a sunlit nook with its own hearth and direct access to the deck. Main level living includes the primary suite, two bedrooms, a full bath, paneled den with built ins, while a second room off the kitchen works as a home office, study area, or a drop zone as the day requires. Downstairs, a second gathering space centered on the wood stove, two more bedrooms, a full bath, generous storage, and a covered patio below. The grounds open to a large level lawn framed by mature landscaping and breathtaking view, the yard is ready for play, gardening, or gathering. Systems are updated throughout, with new HVAC, air conditioning and completed sewer work. Three car garage and dedicated laundry. Minutes to Lakemont Village, Cougar Mountain trailheads, and I-90. Issaquah School District.
