4140 Lytle Road NE

A retreat among the trees, just a stroll from Lytle Beach and Lynwood Center. On a shy wooded acre at the end of a quiet road, this west-facing NW Contemporary home pairs a treehouse feel with a meticulous renovation defined by premium materials and custom craftsmanship. Walls of Quantum wood windows frame the forest, welcoming afternoon light across refinished pine floors beneath soaring ceilings, and exposed fir beams. As daylight fades, designer lighting throughout adds a warm glow. Gather by the Morsø wood stove in winter; in summer, open the French doors to a rebuilt cedar deck among mature gardens. The kitchen brings together locally crafted cabinetry, soapstone counters, a pantry, and Fisher & Paykel appliances, including an induction range, and paneled fridge. Upstairs, the primary suite offers treetop views, a walk-in closet and an ensuite with a skylit shower. Handmade clé tile, slate floors, and custom cabinetry carry the same care into both baths. A 2-zone heat pump adds year-round comfort with heating & A/C. Outside, the home features restained cedar siding and a metal roof. Plans by BC+J for a detached 3-car garage, shop, and a 618 SF 1-bed guest house are available; permits recently expired. Septic approved for 3 bedrooms. Enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and evenings by the water with deeded rights to Lytle’s community beach. Follow the neighborhood trail into Lynwood for dinner, groceries or a movie, or explore nearby Fort Ward Park and the south-end trails.
