Rare opportunity to own a newer construction custom home on over 5 acres in Maple Hills, less than 30 minutes from Bellevue, Seattle, and Sea-Tac Airport. This residence features soaring ceilings, walls of windows, breathtaking sunset views, and central air conditioning. The main level offers a vaulted great room, chef’s kitchen, private office, and luxurious primary suite with spa-inspired bath and direct deck access. Step outside to a full-length composite deck overlooking a truly secluded expansive park-like backyard enveloped by nature, delivering exceptional privacy and generous space to play, entertain, or enjoy the serene setting. Boasting an expansive 1,500+ SF garage with 15.5-foot ceilings, this standout space accommodates an RV, boat, or up to five vehicles. Equipped with a fast EV charger and multiple 20-amp circuits, it provides unmatched versatility as a workshop, hobby studio, home business center, or premium storage area—a rare luxury. A true showstopper is the custom floor-to-ceiling walnut bookcase, which conceals a hidden door to a private, soundproof secret room with home theater. Located just outside incorporated King County limits, this custom-built home offers notable financial benefits with no annual RTA tax, lower sales tax, and no HOA fees. It perfectly balances city convenience with peaceful acreage living, abundant nature, wildlife, and exceptional privacy.
