Nestled among the trees this enchanting midcentury feels like a forest retreat yet is just a stone’s throw to shopping and dining in the vibrant Foster-Powell neighborhood. Enter into the main living space with a 13 ft tall ceiling height made of Douglas Fir tongue and groove. A wall of windows looks out onto the front of the property and, in addition to multiple skylights, provides ample light year-round bringing the outdoors in.The MCM aesthetic has been wonderfully preserved here. The brick wall and woodburning fireplace make for a striking architectural focal point in the main living area. Wood floors throughout maintain the warm organic feel that permeates. The 2nd floor primary bedroom w/en suite provides a serene view of the rear of the .75-acre property and feels as though you’re floating amongst the trees. A 2nd bedroom, also on the upper floor, provides a bird’s eye view of the front of the property. The 2nd full bath features a skylight bringing natural light during the day and inviting you to unwind with a moonlit bath in the eve. A 3rd bedroom on the main floor has a ground level view of the forested back. Use as intended or as an inspirational workspace. Maintaining the midcentury theme is the 500+ sq ft artist's studio/workshop. Potential for an ADU, or additional entertaining space. Get your invites ready and do some entertaining beneath the string lights on your large private patio or gather around the fire pit for story time. 10 raised garden beds provide ample room for year-round gardening. Some chickens in the coop will give you the best of both worlds: country life and city living in your own private urban forest! Tons of parking including room for RV. Property is dividable and 129th Pl abuts the back end of this property with the potential for future development. Buyer to perform all development due diligence. [Home Energy Score = 2.
