**Highest and Best due by Monday 11/17 at Noon** This isn't just a home - it's a living, breathing sanctuary! Tucked in a cul-de-sac, 9 Marquette Ct combines the convenience of suburbia with a hidden botanical garden and edible foodscape. Inside, the home offers 5+ bedrooms and 3 full baths, making it ideal for multi-generational living ~ flexible spaces for offices, playrooms, and guest suites. Open concept kitchen and living area are perfect for hosting extended family. Beautiful laminate hardwood flooring throughout main level and a one-of-a-kind, handmade terracotta floor (Saltillo tile) in the lower level (complete with donkey hoof, chicken and armadillo imprints from Mexico!). The grounds are a gardener's dream, with seasonal blooms and fruits that make every day feel special: tree peonies in shades of pink, purple, and yellow, fragrant Virginia Bluebells, lilacs in purple and white, and a star-white Magnolia that signals spring in full glory. Summer brings roses, ornamental poppies, and a bounty of fruit - NorthStar, Rainier, and Bing cherries, Asian pears, apples, plums, Concord and table grapes, blackberries, and raspberries. With green and red maples framing the property, every season is a masterpiece. Whether you're harvesting cherries for a summer pie, sipping wine made from your own grapes, or simply enjoying the view from the back deck, this property delivers a lifestyle that's truly special.
