Come home to a quiet cottage tucked among gardens — the forest behind you is protected, not waiting to be built. That’s Conover Commons: a pocket neighborhood minutes from Microsoft, Kirkland, and Redmond, so trail mornings and a short commute fit in the same day. Step onto the covered front porch & the shift is immediate — flower boxes, lush plantings, neighbors you actually know. Inside, the main floor is set up for easy living: your bedroom, full bath, & walk-in closet are all on the main level. Open the slider and the private deck puts the woodland in front of you — coffee, a book, or a quiet dinner with trees as the view. The kitchen is built for people who cook and gather - maple island, Wolf range, matte granite. The living room wraps around a gas fireplace, so winter evenings feel warm without extra work. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the spacious loft with natural light, while a ¾ bath creates a versatile second living area ideal for guests, an office, or hobbies. Outside, enjoy beautifully maintained gardens without the weekend workload—the HOA handles lawn care, trash, roads, and snow. An oversized individual garage adds valuable storage and convenience. With trails, courtyards, three community Commons buildings available for free private use, and a serene forest setting, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy small-home simplicity without giving up location, amenities, or privacy. All within the highly regarded Lake Washington School District.
