Escape to your own private retreat in the heart of Washington. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking a peaceful pond and winding creek, this one-of-a-kind contemporary feels like a secluded getaway while still offering convenient access to shopping, dining and everyday amenities. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on .72 acres, the setting is exceptionally private, serene and inspiring. Inside, the home showcases striking architectural details throughout, including a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and tongue-and-groove wood accents, rich wood flooring and a welcoming slate foyer. The open yet comfortable layout creates an inviting atmosphere filled with warmth, character and natural light. The rustic gourmet kitchen features concrete countertops and a professional-style gas oven, flowing seamlessly into the dining area for relaxed entertaining and everyday living. A spacious office with custom built-ins provides an ideal work-from-home space, while the enclosed 3-season porch offers a tranquil vantage point over the creek–perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings surrounded by nature. A conveniently located powder room is tucked just off the main living areas. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private balcony overlooking the water and an updated bath with walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the second floor. The third floor is a standout feature: a two-room studio suite with private balconies overlooking the creek. Currently used as an art studio, this inspiring flex space includes its own dedicated heating and air system, making it ideal for creative pursuits, guest accommodations, fitness space or a second office. Extensive recent improvements provide peace of mind and modern comfort, including roof replacement (2023), rebuilt third-floor decks and railings (2023), furnace (2024), third-floor mini split (2023), fireplace unit and new 500-gallon propane tank (2023), along with updated windows, flooring, lighting, hardware, electrical improvements and a renovated primary shower. Outside, the owners added a custom-designed fenced area with three access gates along the rear of the property and creek, enhancing functionality and outdoor enjoyment while preserving the home’s natural curb appeal and scenic approach. Additional major updates are planned prior to closing, including installation of a new second-floor HVAC system and new electrical panel. The home has been professionally evaluated, and sellers have priced accordingly for future exterior improvements recommended to the rear decks and sunroom support system, including additional structural reinforcement and footings. The rebuilt upper-level decks and railings (2023) remain in excellent condition, giving buyers confidence in the home’s ongoing upkeep while allowing opportunity for future enhancements. Adding to the appeal, roads within the neighborhood are maintained by the City of Washington. This property offers a rare combination of privacy, nature and convenience in a setting that feels worlds away from everyday life.
