Fragrant lilac and rows of mature rhododendrons greet you hello at this remodeled home that sits on a private 0.8 acre lot in the quiet Brook Trails neighborhood in Woodinville. The covered front porch invites you to old-world European charm in this magical English Country Home.

The main floor features expansive hardwood floors and sunny formal and informal living spaces, with two cozy wood-burning fireplaces which can be converted with gas inserts. The large kitchen has a spacious walk-in pantry and desk area and it opens up to a dining nook overlooking the garden and cedar trees. There is another South facing room which can be used as a formal dining room or a library — the choice is yours. A powder room completes this main floor space. Extensive updates had been thoughtfully implemented to transform this home: aluminum clad wood windows, hardwood flooring, millwork, carpeting, staircase, new stove, and rebuilt septic system and chimneys.

The mature flowering cherry tree is the focal point of the beautiful backyard. The low-maintenance yard has been designed by a master gardener, and boasts roses, daphnes and camellias, etc. for an impressive show. The spacious, 2-level stamped concrete patio features a BBQ connected to natural gas, and there is plenty of room for relaxation while the backyard provides shade and the perfect place for a game of hide-and-seek.

Upstairs is the owners’ suite which offers a deep tub in the private space to luxuriate in. There are two other secondary bedrooms and a full guest bath. The huge bonus room is outfitted with easy-to-maintain Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring. The easily accessible laundry space completes this level. Newly finished is a “secret study” on the top level, which provides for the perfect space for work-at-home or gaming.

While away the afternoons sitting on the south-facing wide porch with a good book, listening to the creek and watching the wildlife. There are walking trails right outside the door which connects to the 12 mile Tolt Pipeline trail system. You can even see the occasional horse trot by! In the evenings, enjoy the hot tub in the private backyard as you listen to the gentle croaking of the frogs.

In addition to the attached two car garage, the massive driveway provides space for the parking of 4 additional cars as well as a side yard for playing basketball. There is even room to accommodate an RV.

Enjoy wine country living yet you are so close to everything. Just 5 to 10 minutes to wineries, chic restaurants and shops in Woodinville and Redmond, 15 minutes to Bellevue and 25 minutes to Downtown Seattle.
