Tucked high above the valley at the end of a winding private drive, this custom-built retreat offers the rare feeling of escape while remaining close to everyday amenities. As you twist and turn up the backroad toward home, “Take a Backroad” seems to echo through the trees, welcoming you into a slower pace surrounded by nature, privacy, and peace. Built in 2007 by the original owner and thoughtfully designed, this 4-bedroom, 3.75-bath home offers 2,290 finished square feet plus 1,479 square feet of unfinished basement space ready for your vision. Fresh interior paint, new downstairs flooring, and a brand-new asphalt driveway provide a refreshed feel while preserving the warmth and character of the home. Natural light pours through the windows, framing views of old-growth forest and abundant wildlife. The office with built-in bookcases creates an ideal work-from-home setting, while the property offers room for gardens, recreation, or future additions. Positioned between Snohomish and Monroe, with access to Highway 522, Maltby, and Woodinville. Neighboring 5-acre parcel MLS #2521161 also available as a package opportunity.
