About this home

Wake up to trees, not neighbors. Tucked against a wooded greenbelt in Sunrise, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a peaceful setting and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find. Step outside to a backdrop of mature trees, where deer wander through, birds visit throughout the day, and the sounds and smells of the greenbelt change with the seasons—from summer evenings to the unmistakable smell of the woods after the first rain. Inside, the main level features an open living and kitchen layout with a cozy gas fireplace, eating bar, pantry, and newer stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite looks directly out to the trees—giving you that same wooded view first thing in the morning—and includes an updated bath and extensive walk-in closet storage. Two additional bedrooms, an updated guest bath, and convenient upstairs laundry complete the second floor. Major practical improvements have already been handled, including a brand-new 2026 roof and gutters with transferable warranty, along with newer appliances and numerous updates throughout, while still leaving room to personalize the finishes over time. Located in the Sunrise community near Puyallup schools, shopping, parks, and commuter routes, this home gives you the convenience of South Hill while the wooded setting out back feels surprisingly removed from it all. The finishes can change. The trees behind you can’t.
