This is a blast from the past—in the best possible way. One owner for 48 years, meticulously maintained and remarkably well preserved. Vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, a brick wood burning fireplace and formal dining create a great main-level living space, with a slider opening to a private deck surrounded by mature evergreens. The kitchen still has its original built-in banquette and sits behind a non-load-bearing partial wall, giving the next owner the option to open it up or keep the defined space and vintage character. Large bedrooms, great closet space and two full baths on the main. Downstairs is where the possibilities really open up: a generous rec room with a second brick fireplace and wood insert, another 1/2 bath, dedicated laundry, storage and an oversized garage with workshop space and its own entrance. There is potential to create two additional bedrooms, guest quarters, home offices or a future mother-in-law setup. One block to Cottage Lake Elementary in an established and coveted Woodinville neighborhood surrounded by mature trees. Keep the retro details, reimagine the layout, or do a little of both. Solid bones, a flexible floor-plan and a clean canvas for whatever comes next. We purposely did not stage this home so you can bring your plans and imagination, or just enjoy as is! This home is almost 3,000 SF inclusive of the garage - so many Possibilities!
