Description: You will love the special neighborhood of Holmes Point, in Kirkland. Minutes from Lake Washington, and downtown Kirkland shopping and entertainment, this is a quiet neighborhood of custom homes on large lots. This house had a massive, total updating over a number of years that makes it look like a new house with luxury features and best quality finishes. The appliances and HVAC system are nearly new. The beautiful honey oak floors are recently refinished. The house was recently repainted inside and out. The kitchen has acres of granite surfaces and the floors include slate. The doors and windows were replaced and a dozen opening skylights open to bring in fresh breezes from the lake keeping the house fresh. Passive heating and cooling and a septic system with a new pump keep the utility costs low. There is no monthly sewer bill. The power company reports it in the efficiency zone and one of the lowest cost homes to heat and cool year-round. The landscaping is lush with a massive cherry tree, numerous Japanese Maple trees and flowering bushes. The yards display color all year. Extensively stone scape offers zero maintenance stone staircases, flagstone, rockeries, and a large gravel side yard for extra parking. A 650 square foot two-year new cedar deck is built to last 35 years. The oversize garage fits up to four cars or two or three cars and a lot of storage space. There is an abundance of electrical power and space in the panels for fast, dedicated EV recharging. The kitchen appliances are nearly new. The kitchen offers a gas cook top, an electric range and built in microwave. The compact and efficient master suite bathroom has electrically heated slate floors. The master bedroom has a walk in dressing area, vaulted ceilings up to 13 feet, indirect room lighting with his and hers vanities and sinks in the master bath area, and built-in his and hers reading lights in a sofit. It opens to a loft overlooking the living and dining room and has T&G cedar ceilings and Hemlock molding stained to match the clear Fir trim and custom steel and Doug Fir railing. There is plumbing in a loft closet to add an additional washer/dryer to the master suite and an abundance of space for additional closets to add if desired. All the natural trim and doors are clear Doug Fir urethane to mellow to a medium shade. The living room ceiling is 24 feet. The front wall is two stories of huge custom glass panes bringing in an abundance of natural light and the greenbelt across the street and casement windows to catch any breeze. From the loft and staircase, you can see the lake, the homes on the hills above it and the Olympic Mountains when the trees lose their leaves. A front bedroom has casement and awning windows and French doors to the front deck. It makes a great home office. The forest/greenbelt covers most of the custom homes to three sides of the house. The sun brightens the hills in morning and silhouettes mountains at sunset. The moon reflects off the lake. The sun directly across from the house in winter brings in an abundance of natural light and helps warm the house. In summer it rotates to the north and does not heat the house in the morning or during most of the day in summer. The loft serves as a home office/library. The basement is beautifully finished into a bonus room for play, media, wine tasting, an extra bedroom or can be fitted with a small kitchen for guests or multi-generational living. A shower can be added to the half bath. It has a closet and built-in storage furniture. The house has a generous 9X12 laundry room with space for everything, power, water and an exhaust fan that is vented to the outside of the house. The house has two wood burning fireplaces. The one in the Livingroom has a metal box and a thermostatically controlled outside fan to force warm, fresh outside air into the house on cold winter days and nights providing ambience, warmth and ventilation. The modest finished square footage disguises that this is a big house built on three stories on a 1200 square foot foundation and is the space of 3600 square feet. Modest by Kirkland luxury home size, it lives well and much bigger than its advertised finished square foot. The street in front of the house dead ends into an entrance to Denny Park where you can walk a trail along a 365-day creek to a delta on the lake to enjoy the views of Mt. Rainier and the waterfront homes or store your kayak or small boat at the house and launch it in the park or the community boat launch minutes away. Enjoy the barbeque, pavilion, and play area in the park and swim in protected waters from boats or launch your windsail or jet ski. You will be minutes to Juanita Bay, the destination resort hotel at St Edward Park, Kirkland downtown shopping and entertainment, I enjoyed living in this house for 21 years and improving it extensively for my use and for maximum efficiency and lowest cost living. I am now ready to move on to live in another part of the state and hand it off completely refreshed and ready for the next owner to enjoy.
