Seller Comments
Coffee Shop of Choice: Starbucks
Favorite Restaurant in the Area: Toyota Sushi voted Seattle’s best Sushi.
Favorite Places to Go: Matthews Beach in the summer and Bike Riding the Burke-Gilman Trail.
Best Features of the Home: Each room offers an interesting architectural detail: to crown molding throughout the home – including the closets (Only this house and Kenny G’s offer that detail in the Seattle Area) Fir Wood Windows with their own custom made screens – to a gourmet kitchen with Cherry Cabinets – plus everyone comments on the huge backyard.
Favorite Room: The master bedroom has the feel of an adult tree-house when you look out the windows – so private and quiet.
Any Remodeling Since Last Sale Price: The house was completely re-done in the year 1999 to 2000. Only one wall was saved from demolition. With a great architectural team we took a 900 sq. ft. home and created 3,700 sq. ft. Cape Cod Craftsmen. Every detail to the floor joists is top of the line.
Most Romantic Spot: The Master Bedroom is the most romantic room in the house, the gas fireplace with the fir wood detail – to match the windows and the complete privacy from the rest of the house.
What’s in the Neighborhood: Cedar Park is closely located to the Lake City Area and within minutes of University Village and Lake Forest Park (Third Place Books). The Lake City Area is currently undergoing revitalization and many new shops and restaurants are entering the neighborhood.
What I Will Miss the Most: I will miss our neighbors most of all. They were the only con we could come up with when we decided to move to the country. Everyone looks out for each other which is great for an in-city neighborhood, plus during the wind storm last year some neighbors had power when others did not. Everyone made sure the neighbors without power had extension cords brought to their homes.
