We made an offer on a house today! It is beautiful, and at the top of a hill in Lake Forest Park. The address is 5102 NE 201st Place. There is a cool park about 2 minutes’ walking distance away, and the house has a great view of the cascades. The yard has Japanese maple trees, roses, lavender, and I can’t tell what else in the winter time.

Street View of the House

Here are the statistics:

  • 3 bedrooms
  • 1.75 bath and a 1/2 bath stubbed in downstairs
  • large newish kitchen, but needs new appliances
  • breakfast nook
  • dining room
  • living room
  • hardwood floors
  • 2 gas log fireplaces
  • family room
  • office
  • playroom
  • 2-car garage (660 sq ft)
  • vinyl, insulated windows
  • 2400 sq ft
  • 9990 sq ft lot

Check out the pictures—they tell the whole story. Looks like we will have room for guests as well as for us to grow a bit. Ahhhhh. Please wish us luck! Closing date of January 11, 2006. Then it will be time to gussy up this house and sell it.

  1. Congratulations on your committment! I look forward to helping you pack (a little).
    According to Google, 9990 sq ft = 0.229545455 acres.
    Does that match your walking around experience?

  2. CONGRATULATIONS! Very exciting. I bet you can’t wait. Are you going to have Earl build a fence? (Don’t tell him that I suggested that!) It’s neat that you will be closer to us — maybe we’ll get to see Earl & Evelyn a little more often also.

    The pictures of Zoe are spectacular. I particularly like the Good Morning Sunshine one. I bet you could win a photo contest with that one.

    Love,
    Barb
