12055 Miller Rd NE

This peaceful, spacious home is down a long driveway, tucked away and protected from all traffic and noise. In spring and early summer a frog chorus starts at sunset. Rolling lawn connects the barn, the play structure, the fire pit, the back patio, a wood shed, and mature cherry, apple, and plum trees. A 20-minute walk takes you to a road end, with access to the Little Manzanita inlet, where you can launch a kayak or enjoy the sunset. For Seattle commuters, just flag down the bus at the end of the driveway to get to the ferry. Optional: rent as furnished, with any or all current furniture.
