For the gardener who dreams in raised beds. For the retiree ready to trade upkeep for ease. For anyone who's ever wished they could wake up inside a forest - 2239 W 16th Street is calling. Built in 2005 on a 9,038 square-foot lot, this Craftsman home is wrapped in a canopy of mature cedar, pine, and other stately trees that turn every window into a living painting.
Step inside and the feeling doesn't stop - classic windows frame the surrounding forest so completely that daily life here feels less like living in a house and more like living with the trees. One-level living means no stairs to negotiate and no wasted square footage - just 1,403 thoughtfully laid-out square feet with real hardwood floors underfoot.
And for anyone eyeing flex space, a home office, or room for a caregiver or adult child, the built-in equity is already here: a second bathroom's plumbing remains in place in both the wall and floor, ready for an easy re-install as a bath off the living room or a private suite entered from the bedroom.
It's rare to find that kind of future flexibility already done for you. The garden lifestyle takes center stage out back. The fully fenced yard is framed by mature trees and filled with fruit trees, raised garden beds, and abundant flowers - a blank canvas for anyone who's ever wanted more room to grow things.
After a morning of digging in the dirt, retreat to the covered composite deck or slide into your own private swim spa. Inside, unwind further in the primary bath's soaking tub, lit by natural skylights. A grand entry, flanked by classic pillars and a wood door graced with windows, sets the tone before you even step through - and a whole-home water
filtration system and fire suppression system offer the kind of quiet peace of mind that lets you actually relax into this lifestyle. When it's time to venture beyond your own garden, Lincoln Park and the Olympic Discovery Trail are just moments away. This is a home for slowing down without giving anything up - for downsizers who still want a garden, retirees who want ease without sacrificing character, and anyone drawn to the idea of living somewhere genuinely, unmistakably natural.
