There is a beautiful pond on the northwest side of the yard and the view of the pond and wildlife associated with it make you think you're way out in the country, while only 5 minutes from the city center or 3 blocks from a neighborhood community center with theater, grocery store, pub and several restaurants and many quaint shops as well as beach access to Puget Sound.
