Nature and Community

“This is a cozy home, perfect for someone looking to feel part of a community while still enjoying privacy.”
— Homeowner

Home: Sunporches and a covered, wraparound deck invite you outdoors in all seasons at this move-in-ready home in Lake Minterwood. Set on the Key Peninsula, this neighborhood offers a private lakefront park and access to wooded loop trails, while Key Center’s groceries, post office, library, health center, and spots to meet for coffee are just one mile away.

Updates include a brand new roof, a heat pump for a/c, fresh interior paint, and the spacious deck with built-in bench seating. You’ll find many other thoughtful touches to sweeten life here, from French doors and a sun tunnel skylight to the hot tub and a row of cherry trees blooming each spring.

The primary suite is a haven with its private bath, walk-in closet, dressing room and sliding doors to a covered, screened porch. Host dinner on the deck and keep scattering seeds in the front garden so the wildflowers can welcome you home.

Lake Minterwood Beach Club: Living in the Lake Minterwood community means access to the lake and the park along the shore. Residents all get to enjoy the boat launch, grassy park and playground, the picnic shelter, dock and swimming area. You can even walk the loop trails of the Key Central Forest from here! Learn more about Lake Minterwood Beach Club.

“Because the neighborhood features a beautiful lake, our dogs have enjoyed daily walks around the lake, as well as trails behind the neighborhood. Visiting friends with kids really enjoy the playground by the lake, and kayaking.”

— Homeowners

The Key Peninsula is a narrow stretch of land between Carr Inlet and Case Inlet at the southern edge of the salty Salish Sea. Since this home is at Lake Minterwood, you might like to spend some time on the fresh water too.

The local grocery store—with an espresso stand attached—is just a mile away.

You’ll find groceries, a public library, post office, coffee shop, health center, Mexican restaurant, pizza place, thrift shop, and even a nursery for your gardening needs in Key Center.

Here’s just a glimpse of what’s close by:

“The Key Peninsula Civic Center hosts many community events, from scarecrow design contests to art fairs to farm tours. ”
— Homeowners
