About this home
Cascades with your coffee. Rainier when the sun sets it on fire. This 1992 contemporary tri-level was refreshed top to bottom this summer: new kitchen with white shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless appliances; new carpet; new LVP flooring in entry, powder room, and kitchen; fresh paint. Every east-facing window frames territorial views with glimpses of the Cascades. The living room, primary bedroom, and mezzanine bedroom also face south — straight at Mount Rainier. The primary bedroom shares a dual-entry full bath with the second bedroom (vaulted ceiling, north-facing arched window: office, guest room, your call). Tucked between floors, the finished addition adds a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a south-facing arched picture window framing Mount Rainier directly, plus a loft sleeping/storage area, a fully appointed laundry area, and a 3/4 bath. The east side stacks three decks — top floor, main floor, and yard — connected by an outdoor stairway; the garage opens straight onto the yard deck too. Two-car garage: one bay has less clearance, verify for your needs. Fenced backyard, weathered pergola, moderate slope. Refreshed west side: new fence, gate, and gravel walkway. Main water line replaced 2023 — one less thing to budget for. Approx. 1,620 SqFt per 2002 appraisal; KCR: 1,170 SqFt. Fred Meyer one way, Uwajimaya the other, the farmers market on Tuesdays. 405 puts I-5, the Eastside, and SeaTac all within reach — pick your errand, pick your escape.
