About this home

Classic Craftsman charm seamlessly pairs with modern living in this beautiful 1926 home, nestled on a lush, park-like lot. Modern touches include; double-pane windows, updated electrical, newer plumbing, and durable bamboo floors. The light-filled kitchen features a charming bay-window breakfast nook, while an extension off the main living area serves as an ideal home office, creative studio, or quiet retreat. Downstairs, an expansive, flex space offers endless potential for a home gym, workshop, or future finished living area. Outside, the sunny, fully fenced level yard is a true urban oasis, complete with a generous entertaining deck, a peek-a-boo view of Mt. Rainier, mature fruit trees, and a fully enclosed sunroom/greenhouse designed for year-round gardening and relaxation. Close to shopping, parks, community centers, and public transportation.
