About this home

Hobby farm living just minutes from town, this home is a true unicorn. The property delivers the space, character, and lifestyle so sought after without giving up convenience. The backyard is essentially an orchard: mature Crimson Crisp and Gala apple trees, Bartlett pear trees, and Rainier cherry trees offer fresh fruit from summer into fall. A dedicated greenhouse and garden lets you extend the growing season and start seedlings year-round. The versatile shop out back is ready for projects, storage, tools, or just sitting on the deck looking out over the wetland next door. Even the garage of this home is full of surprises. Complete with a built-in stage, it's ready for band practice, jam sessions, open-mic nights, or the ultimate entertaining space. Whether you're a musician, maker, gardener, or simply someone who loves room to spread out, this setup offers flexibility you won't find in a typical neighborhood home. The home has a brand new bathroom right off the garage so your guests can use the lou while they are enjoying a set from your buddies band. The setback from the road creates a peaceful, country-feel retreat with a sense of arrival, yet shopping, dining, trails, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Enjoy quiet mornings among the fruit trees, weekends in the shop or greenhouse, and evenings with music filling the garage.
