Listing Provided Courtesy of John L. Scott OrtingStep into a piece of architectural history—John V. Austin’s own personal home. Perched high on .78 acres, this semi-circular design gracefully wraps around a centuries-old oak, with wings that were crafted to frame unforgettable Mt. Rainier views (ready to be revealed again). This 3 bedroom, 3 bath treasure blends preserved mid-century character with modern touches—granite counters, downdraft oven, wraparound decks, and a new lifetime roof. Gather around the stunning fireplace, enjoy the joy of a pickleball match, or embrace multi-generational living with income potential. This isn’t just a home—it’s a story, a legacy, and a place that will capture your heart the moment you arrive.
