Miles of epic trail running outside the door.

Across from you is the future HQ of the Japanese Garden. Private deck off great room with vaulted ceilings and window walls. And yet, bustling NW 23rd with its epic Victorians, delightful shops and delicious dining is so close! Sellers poured love and style into each room and detail of this one-of-a-kind NW Contemporary modern home. From the showroom quality kitchen with flush, custom cabinetry, to the sexy bathrooms with limestone wash and playful Terrazzo. New floors, kitchen, bathrooms, trim, smooth coat finishes. Water filtration, new systems, and even a kimchi fridge. Attached and dialed two-car garage and plenty of storage. Terrific condo alternative, with usable garden/yard space.
