Represented by Scott Wasner
This estate is a labor of love that stands as a testament to a lifetime of dedication, hard work, and the challenge of creating something truly exceptional. Constructed with Engelman Spruce trees in British Columbia, disassembled, and shipped to its resting place with more than 300 yards of concrete in its foundation walls.
The great room, a soaring sanctuary with 38-foot ceilings, celebrates light and oceanic vistas through glass clerestory windows. It’s there that sits one of two massive woodburning fireplaces made from river rock hauled from the Columbia River. The adjacent chef’s kitchen was constructed with solid cherry cabinets, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, and two updated ovens complete with a warming drawer, and a walk-in pantry.

532 Kennebeck Avenue S, Kent
Represented by James Stroupe and Julie Roh
Own a Scenic Hill home with a rich, interesting history. This property was built by Sam Crockett (a relative of the legendary Davy Crockett) who first arrived in Washington—which was then only known as Oregon territory—in 1844. The wood used in the original construction was from the trees located on the site. This 1905 beauty evokes a storybook feel with its charming brick exterior, lovely bay windows to enjoy a cup of coffee or book, and box beam ceilings that create a cozy cottage aesthetic.
Gleaming hardwood floors, arched doorways, and stained glass speak to the level of care and craftsmanship in which this home was made. Mature trees, a manicured lawn, and beautiful flower beds create ample opportunity for enjoyment outdoors and a chance to flex your green thumb.
