Beige cottage like suburban home with a purple front door, lush flower garden, and house number 1897 under a bright blue sky

Built in 1933, this historic multigenerational estate stands as the namesake of Gossard Street, a rare piece of regional heritage designed by prominent Washington architect Silas Nelson. Set on a sprawling .62-acre private sanctuary in Enumclaw, this 5-bed, 5-bath home seamlessly balances classic craftsmanship with high-end modern updates. Inside, refinished oak, maple, and fir floors flow past solid 4-panel fir doors. Main-level highlights include an executive office off the boxwood-framed entrance, a bright living room with a wood fireplace, a formal dining space, and a chef’s kitchen featuring cherry cabinetry, a farmhouse enamel sink, and a high-end Marvin window showcase. The main-floor primary suite offers total privacy, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with heated ceramic penny tile.

Upstairs features three secondary bedrooms, a cozy rec room, a fully remodeled bath, and subtle views of Mt. Rainier. A detached garage includes a finished studio with a half bath, ideal for a private home office or guest space. Outside, the fully fenced grounds rival a public botanical garden: a heated in-ground pool with a water slide, a wisteria-draped composite deck, an orchard, a rose garden, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop. Complete with a brand-new 50-year roof, EV charger, and RV parking.
