This beautiful 5,000-square-foot custom home is the newest member of the Schenkar Construction Design/Build fleet. This gorgeous home blends into a magnificent 5-acre estate-style forested property at the foothills of Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, WA. Completely surrounded by a mature forest of cedar and pine trees, this home blends into nature with elevated views, creating a tree house dynamic. The home has a wide inviting floor plan with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and expansive 18-foot vaulting ceilings with floor to ceiling windows capturing all the natural light. A large chef’s kitchen with an oversized island allows for the maximum culinary experience, with luxury appliances, an eight-burner 1,200 BTU range, and a stone-clad hood.
