Tucked beneath towering evergreens on just over half an acre, this storybook Lake Forest Park retreat feels a world away. This 1969 log cabin has vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams and arched passageways throughout. The craftsmanship is impeccable and just needs a little love to rekindle the fairytale. Gather by the stone fireplace, then step through saloon doors into a kitchen with a gas range and walk-in pantry. Three bedrooms include a flexible office with a built-in Murphy bed. The crown jewel is the spectacular mature grounds. Native trees and intentionally curated plantings, chemical-free since the 1990s, were featured in the Lake Forest Park Annual Garden Tour. Enjoy total seclusion and vibrant seasonal color with a large covered deck, terraced gardens, Japanese maples, arbors, flagstone paths, landscape lighting and a hidden sitting deck beneath the maples. A detached carport with attached workshop and storage adds space for hobbies and projects. Central A/C, a tankless water heater and a recently serviced furnace keep the home comfortable year-round. A little vision and a green thumb will carry on the love, and legacy of this treasure. Explore ADU/DADU potential. Deeded rights to the Lake Forest Park Civic Club beach. Minutes to Town Center and the Burke-Gilman Trail. Preferred lender credit of 0.5% to go towards closing costs/rate buydown.
