5529 231st Avenue SE

Beneath a canopy of evergreens, a cupola-crowned roofline introduces a gabled Craftsman where timeless architecture meets effortless comfort. Morning light filters through the stained glass entry, tracing the staircase’s flared railings and patterned runner before illuminating a dining nook wrapped in wainscoting beneath a coffered ceiling. The family room embraces the outdoors with sunlight, custom built-ins, and a stone fireplace anchoring the space, while French doors open to a generous deck overlooking the lawn and wooded backdrop. A garden path leads to the cedar pergola and fire pit, surrounded by hydrangeas and Japanese maples. The kitchen unfolds with quiet elegance, where brass globe pendants cast a warm glow over the oversized island and a sculptural custom hood lends architectural presence to the professional range. Above the foyer, a library nook with built-in bookshelves creates a peaceful space for work or reading. Designed as a private sanctuary, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings and a Juliet balcony privately overlooking layers of lush greenery. The adjoining bath offers a deep soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and custom dual vanity. A main-level mudroom and laundry add everyday ease, with a three-car garage and ample driveway parking. Near I-90, the home provides easy access to Seattle, Bellevue, and major tech hubs while remaining close to downtown Issaquah.
