Relying on Stuart v. Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, Inc., 109 Wn.2d 406, 415-16, 745 P.2d 1284 (1987), and Klos v. Gockel, 87 Wn.2d 567, 569, 554 P.2d 1349 (1976), Mr. Stalick contends the warranty of habitability was limited to those defects that render a house unfit to live in or those defects which profoundly compromise the essential nature of the structure as a dwelling. Additionally, Mr. Stalick argues that the warranty of habitability does not apply to defects in exterior nonstructural elements adjacent to the dwelling.
