Tucked among the old-growth cedars in the Issaquah Alps on Squak Mountain, this updated 5-bedroom home offers rare privacy without asking you to disappear. You’re above the noise but still close to downtown Issaquah, Bellevue, Seattle, Redmond, Kirkland, and Snoqualmie Pass, with Bellevue about 20 minutes away, Seattle about 25, and the Pass about 35. This is quintessential Pacific Northwest living: trees, trails, quiet mornings, and the Issaquah Alps right outside your world. With Cougar and Tiger Mountain nearby, outdoor adventure is part of the rhythm here, not a weekend project. Inside are new LVP and carpet, quartz counters, cabinets, fixtures, windows, and fresh paint. Bright living spaces, a gathering kitchen, and media room give everyone room to come together or spread out. Five bedrooms and three baths create flexibility for guests, work from home, extended living, or future ADU/DADU potential. Out back, the home opens to private deck space, light, trees, and the kind of quiet that reminds you why people move to the Northwest. Issaquah schools include Issaquah Valley Elementary with a 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio and Issaquah High School, rated 10/10 on GreatSchools. Dining, shopping, trails, recreation, and major employment centers are close by.This easygoing Squak Mountain neighborhood is where neighbors walk their dogs, wave to passersby, and still enjoy privacy. Don’t judge this one from the street. Its best features are tucked away inside and out back.
