NEW PRICE! Welcome to The Naturalist, where your backyard is a forest bath. Built in 1975 and thoughtfully redesigned by architect Rick Potestio- this sleek, modern home in the SW Hills is nestled into nature, with city life nearby. Private and serene, The Naturalist sits on more than a quarter acre of pristine PNW forest. Tucked in on a quiet cul-de-sac off Skyline Blvd, commuting to Nike, Intel, even downtown is a breeze. The Zoo, Washington Park, NW 23rd shops, and restaurants are a five minute drive, with Arboretum trailheads mere blocks away. Open the door to forest views through the suspended modern staircase, and feel hugged by nature at every turn. The Naturalist features gleaming maple floors, lush views of the forest, and hiking paths nearby.Chef's kitchen glows with the warm copper backsplash, high-end Fisher & Paykel appliances, and ample pantry space. Living room has vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. Wood-burning fireplace is snuggle-approved and S'mores-ready.Dual primary suites upstairs, with bright, modern bathrooms that stand the test of time. Two additional bedrooms, two car garage, and two storage units under the deck mean there's room for everyone- and everything (including your cross country skis and collection of classic sneaks).Double-level deck looks out into the woods. Top level perfect for intimate meals, the lower platform great for grilling with buds, coffee in the morning, gazing at stars. Deck recently given the thumbs up for hot tub by structural engineer. Trees around the property freshly trimmed by a certified arborist. Excellent condo alternative. Easy to lock & leave. Is this the one you've been waiting for? Come see! [Home Energy Score = 4.
