Solid knotty Alder cabinets complemented by solid knotty Alder doors, custom three-piece baseboards, and window trim.

The property has also been thoughtfully elevated with more than 5,000 cubic yards of engineered fill, providing additional peace of mind while enhancing the home's long-term value. This is far more than a home--it's a legacy property built with uncompromising attention to detail, quality materials, and enduring craftsmanship.
