Spring Home Tour 2012
Welcome to the 29th annual Home Tour! Spring blossoms accentuate the beauty of Issaquah and Sammamish Whether you already live in Issaquah and Sammamish or are new to the area, you’re in for a treat. The 29th annual Spring Home Tour showcases the best of all home-ownership worlds. And the blossoms are at their peak, the perfect time for a weekend drive! Whether you are looking for a single family home or an easy-maintenance townhome, thinking of upgrading to a new home or purchasing your first one, the Home Tour will give you a sampling of real estate options in these desirous cities. Homes in Issaquah and Sammamish have maintained their value over the last three years better than in many King County cities. It’s just one more reason homebuyers are still coming to the area, and why construction companies are still building homes here. It’s all the other great reasons that have helped stabilize the home values: top performing schools in Issaquah and Lake Washington districts; cities that encourage a “green” lifestyle; the gorgeous natural setting of lakes and streams and hiking trails amid the hills and valleys; a bounty of recreational opportunities including multiple golf courses and nearby winter ski areas; a wealth of state, county, city and neighborhood parks; plenty of nearby shopping; and diverse communitie dedicated to volunteerism. Add professional live theatre, art galleries, the state salmon hatchery, the Public Market at Pickering Farm, fishing, boating, picnicking, horseback riding, free summer concerts in the parks, Sammamish Symphony, outdoor Shakespeare, arts organizations that bind the arts community, art shows….whew! It’s all right here.

The Woods distinctive designs embrace open space, parks • 2935 258th Pl. S.E., Sammamish • $669,900 • 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths • 3,028 square feet • Steve Burnstead Construction LLC built by Sequoia LLC John L. Scott/HWP, Kathleen Pennington, 425-890-2122 In a place where nature is revered, The Woods at Beaver Lake is taking distinctive living to the next level. Atop the Sammamish Plateau, this collection of two and three-level homes invites guests to linger over the diversity of home designs created especially for The Woods. “This is what sets us apart. It’s what distinguishes each and every one of our homes from what others are doing,” says
community sales manager Kathleen Pennington. The Woods at Beaver Lake is for people who want a destination neighborhood combined with that serene, secure sense of unique arrival at your own front door. The traditional “Nantucket” 2-story home is situated on greenbelt lots with a design that reflects traditional Northwest val-
ues. A generous covered porch and classic exterior details offer a distinctive choice. On the main floor, 10-foot ceilings add volume to living spaces. A great room with stone and wood-detailed fireplace and built-in cabinets opens to a chef’s kitchen featuring slab counters, a spacious island and a nook area. A formal dining room sits
across the hall. A classic den with ¾ bath can work as a main-floor bedroom if the need arises. Upstairs, a balcony overlooks the main floor. The spacious master suite has a vaulted ceiling, bath with soaking tub and shower and walk-in closet. Also upstairs is a guest suite with attached bathroom, two more bedrooms, full bath and laundry room. The Woods is ringed by surrounding natural forest and is linked to the open spaces of two neighborhood parks and the 54-acre Beaver Lake Park. Nearly all home sites rest against natural wooded or open space. The Woods is just minutes from two of the region’s gems — Issaquah’s Lake Sammamish State Park and Redmond’s Marymoor Park. Find out
why Sammamish was voted No. 15 by Money Magazine as the Best Place to Live. The Woods is situated in the award-winning Issaquah School District.

Furnished Talus townhome is move-in ready • 2179 N.W. Talus Drive, Issaquah • $289,990 • 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms • 1,221 square feet • Daniel Poach, 425-391-5317 Living at Centerra puts you right in the middle of one of Issaquah’s true wonders: Talus — a master planned community with nearly 200 miles of hiking trails and over 400 acres of green space. Centerra’s affordable townhomes are located minutes away from the heart of Issaquah, making it easy to access restaurants and shopping or jump on Interstate 90 to reach the Eastside’s high-tech corridor, downtown Seattle or the Cascade mountains to the east. The homes at Centerra feature four floor plans. All of the twoand three-bedroom designs include two-car garages and some also have flex rooms and extra storage or shop space. Interiors feature nine-foot ceilings and hardwood floors on the
main living level, stainless steel kitchen appliance packages with gas cooktops, Shaker cabinetry and porcelain tile countertops. Currently, Intracorp is offering this furnished two-bedroom, twobath townhome for $289,990. “Essentially, all you have to do is bring your toothbrush. The price of the home includes everything, right down to the rugs, the hand
towels and the art on the walls,” said Jeff Smallwood, vice president of marketing and sales for Intracorp Seattle. “You could have a housewarming party the same day you move in.” The home was professionally decorated by Cynthia Higgins, of Higgins Hughes Design, and it’s sensational, Smallwood said. “Even better, the price of the
home was not adjusted to account for all these extras — which is unheard of. One lucky person is going to get a sweet deal,” said Smallwood. Great financing is available for qualified buyers that include belowmarket interest rates. You can get monthly mortgage payments under $1,200 – including tax and insurance. Put down 5 percent, and all closing costs are paid for you. Centerra at Talus borders the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, one of the largest urban wildlands in the country. Just down the hill from Talus is the transit center, Lake Sammamish State Park and Issaquah’s Gilman Village with specialty boutiques and restaurants. Driving directions: From Interstate 90 take Exit 15 and go south on state Route 900 for about one mile. Turn right on Talus Drive. Go up the hill about .6 mile. Centerra will be on your left.
