17929 SE May Valley Road, Renton, WA 98059
What's special
Some homes have character. Others have a story to tell. Set on nearly 2 acres, this timeless Craftsman farmhouse offers something increasingly rare in Issaquah: room to breathe, space to gather, and the unmistakable charm of country living just minutes from city conveniences. A picture-perfect red barn, mature fruit trees, and beautifully maintained grounds create a setting that feels lifted from a postcard. Flawlessly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home pairs historic character and classic farmhouse details with modern comforts, including a new furnace, A/C, newer exterior paint and carpet. The beautifully updated kitchen features granite countertops, subway tiles, newer SS appliances, and a charming breakfast nook. A desirable main-level bedroom with full bath offers flexibility, while two additional bedrooms await upstairs. Downstairs, the daylight basement is flooded with natural light and offers two additional rooms, rec room, and ¾ bath—ideal for guests, hobbies, or working from home. Outside, discover a secluded backyard with multiple gathering areas, room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the open space. An irrigation system supplied by a dedicated well keeps the grounds lush, while the home enjoys public water service and is wired for a generator. Detached 2 car garage with shop space. Ample parking for guests, RV or boat. This classic beauty offers the character of yesterday with the conveniences of today. Prized Issaquah Schools. Pre Inspected.
