Property Description

This beautiful lodge style shingled home is located in one of the Eastside's most sought after higher end neighborhoods of The Hedges, a quiet community of custom designed estate homes surrounded by miles of trails and open space just minutes to shops, restaurants, freeways and business centers. This lovely home was built in 2004 by Rick Burnstead and features a great room concept with 4690* sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a dedicated media room and a study/office. Located in a cul-de-sac on a .98 acre lot that backs to open space, the pristine yard features a full size sports court, fire pit, emerald lawns with sprinklers and a large deck stubbed for a gas barbeque. The ever changing vista of wildlife enhances this tranquil oasis that is your own backyard. From the first presentation of the handsome shingle and stone exterior, the stamped concrete walkway leads you toward the front entry and toward the foyer with an iron chandelier and Juliet iron balcony. The formal dining room is on the right and features a matching chandelier, wainscoting, crown molding and a furniture style butler's pantry with glass cabinets and slab granite. Warm maple hardwood floors grace the main floor and flow into the great room with its 20-foot ceiling height, massive stone gas fireplace flanked by maple cabinetry and a palladium window framing the tranquil, private views. The kitchen is a dream come true with a large center island of espresso stain on maple wood with breakfast bar seating, pendant lighting and vegetable sink with a water filter.

Sliding doors off the breakfast area leads to the large deck with stairs that go down to the yard. The study or office is off the foyer and features a built-in maple desk with cabinetry, bookshelves, wainscoting and crown molding. The guest powder bath is charmingly unique and features a floating sink on a slab travertine vanity, stone back splash and maple cabinets. The dedicated media room is off the back hallway from the kitchen; a huge multipurpose room, large enough for theater seating and recreation area.

The 4th bay is currently being used as an art studio with track lighting, heat and an air exchange system. This area could also be used as an exercise room, work shop or used as a 4th bay in its current state. Resting on a private shy acre lot, this sanctuary of a backyard is one to treasure season after season. With ever changing vistas of Blue Herons, baby chicks, wild geese and deer, you have to look no further than your own backyard to feel connected to the beauty of nature.
