Tucked away down a quiet gravel drive shared by just one other home, this exceptional custom-built residence offers nearly 3,700 square feet of living space and sits proudly on a serene 5.4-acre parcel in the picturesque Hobart community.

Custom built in 1990 and thoughtfully designed for flexibility, privacy, and natural beauty, this home is the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and opportunity—ideal for multigenerational living, remote work, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle while staying close to modern conveniences.

From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to relax and reconnect. Surrounded by trees and wildlife, the property feels like a personal sanctuary, with winding paths and peaceful places to wander and explore.

Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this home can be immediately settled into while you think about the upgrades you may want for new finishes!

Step inside to discover an expansive main level offering approximately 1,880 square feet of warm, light-filled living. Vaulted cathedral ceilings and multiple skylights elevate the space, while large windows bring the beauty of the outdoors in.

Enjoy the high ceilings and many skylights bringing in the natural light! Door from the dining room area leads to the beautiful sunroom directly off this area.

The home is heated by an efficient 4-zone radiant system throughout, offering consistent comfort in every season. There's also a whole-house fan to keep things cool during the warmer months. The attached two-car oversized garage features natural light from its windows and is thoughtfully positioned right off the kitchen for convenient grocery unloading. It also includes ample built-in storage, making it both practical and spacious.

The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly together and offer a perfect environment for everyday living or entertaining, enhanced by the cozy ambiance of a wood-burning stove.

The kitchen is tucked just around the corner, separated from the living space by a three-quarter-height non-load-bearing wall.

Three-quarter-height non-load-bearing wall can be easily removed and wall opened up to create a great room of your dreams!

Already equipped with a point-of-use water heater under the sink, this kitchen holds significant potential for transformation.

Envision opening it up to create a stunning great room, expanding into a chef’s dream with an island, breakfast bar, or expanded cabinetry—many possibilities for the modern creative!

A door off the living area opens into a spectacular 280-square-foot sunroom, surrounded by nature and flooded with natural light.

This treehouse-inspired retreat is an extension of the home—perfect for reading, sipping morning coffee, or simply soaking in the views of the surrounding woods.

The spacious primary suite on the main level offers peaceful views and privacy. An inset ceiling with soft accent lighting adds a touch of elegance, while the walk-in closet can be further enlarged by converting an adjacent hallway storage space.

The attached full bath offers an expansive layout with a separate shower/tub and toilet area, ready for personalization to match your own style.

Two separate spaces in this primary bathroom - the layout you want, pick your finishes! New flooring!

Two additional bedrooms are located on the main floor.

Second bedroom, both have new carpet and two windows.

Full guest bathroom w/new flooring that mirrors the primary in layout and function; separate space for bathing and water closet makes an easy bath to share.

A dedicated laundry room with built-in cabinetry, a utility sink, and folding space adds practical ease to everyday life, all conveniently located on the main level.

Peaceful paths throughout the property - it's a large piece of privacy, and you could create more areas of outdoor retreat! Whether you’re seeking a peaceful woodland escape, the perfect place to accommodate extended family, or a home that can grow with you over time—this Hobart gem delivers.

View from the side of the home looking towards the kitchen. Prior to this path, there is a two car spot for more parking, or make it into another use!

A second view of the back of the home! So peaceful with the paths, pavers and lovely landscaping.

The 1,800-square-foot daylight basement offers the ideal setup for multigenerational living, an extended guest suite, or a potential rental ADU.

With its own separate entrance, this level already features one finished bedroom, a new three-quarter bath with a stylish corner shower, a kitchen area, and a large family room warmed by a gas fireplace—offering an inviting living space that feels like home. Many different uses in this space - pool table or ping pong?

Kitchenette area is perfect for entertaining in the lower level.

Gas fireplace on lower level in the family room. From this area, you have one door leading to the work shop area, and another leading to the unfinished part of the basement.

Good sized 4th bedroom on the lower level is perfect for family, teenagers, guests, or those just wanting their own space! New carpet & paint.

Just finished the remodel on this lower level bathroom, so new shower, floor, ceiling, cabinet, all!

Approximately 700 square feet of this level remain unfinished, allowing you to tailor it to fit your lifestyle or future investment. One area currently functions as a workshop, complete with power, water at the sink, and built-in storage benches. With existing plumbing and a nearby 220-volt line, this space could be transformed into a second laundry room, mudroom, or hobby space.

Sliding doors from the family room lead out to a covered patio, perfect for year-round enjoyment. A concrete pad is already in place for a hot tub, and surrounding pathways offer even more opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the property.

Covered lower patio is ideal for year-round outdoor activities.

From the front yard, you can see the mature landscaping that has been developed on this property. Lots of gardening has been done through the years - add your own touch! Though you’ll enjoy the serenity of nature and the privacy of rural living, this home is surprisingly close to all the essentials. Located within the highly desirable Tahoma School District, the property offers easy access to Highway 18 and Highway 169, making commuting and errands a breeze.

Three bay storage lean-to for firewood, mower, gardening supplies etc, and it’s well stocked with firewood! Plenty of room to garden and create your own slice of outdoor heaven. Enjoy the convenience of nearby shopping and dining in Maple Valley, recreation at Wilderness Park, Lake Wilderness, and the Arboretum, as well as local golf courses and the Maple Valley Library. With your own private well, you also maintain full control over your water source—an increasingly valuable asset in the Pacific Northwest.
