Creekside Home
Woodland charm, close to town.
The home
Cook and dine
among the trees.
At the end of a private dead-end driveway, this 2,030-square-foot home backs onto city greenbelt along Connelly Creek. Mature cedars and Douglas firs fill the outlook from nearly every window; only one window faces a neighboring home.

Modern comforts.
Thoughtful finishes.
Quartz counters and a generous island anchor the upstairs kitchen, complemented by a Café range, Samsung Bespoke refrigerator, and LG dishwasher. The adjoining dining area and balcony make it easy to move between cooking, gathering, and time outside.
A walk-in closet and bathroom remodeled in 2025 complete the primary suite. A newer LG WashTower adds everyday convenience.
