About this home
Once upon a time…you found the one. Tucked away on a rare 10,000+ sq. ft. Puget Sound view lot in the heart of Steilacoom, this enchanting storybook cabin captures the warmth, charm, and character that’s nearly impossible to find today. Surrounded by towering evergreens with views of Puget Sound, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers approximately 1,200 sq. ft. featuring soaring ceilings, rich wood accents, a spacious bedroom, and a generous loft where you’ll wake to water views. Beyond its undeniable charm lies extraordinary opportunity. Whether you envision embracing the cabin just as it is, expanding the existing home, building a detached garage with an ADU above, or creating a separate ADU for guests, income, or multigenerational living, the oversized lot offers the space to bring your vision to life (buyer to verify). The possibilities are as endless as your imagination. This isn’t simply a home—it’s a chance to create a legacy property in one of Washington’s most treasured waterfront communities. Just moments from Steilacoom’s waterfront and historic downtown, this magical retreat invites you to enjoy today while building something extraordinary for generations to come. Explore Historic Steilacoom's waterfront, beaches, parks shops, local restaurants and ferry to Anderson Island. It's more than a place to live-it's a place to slow down, make memories and create a lifestyle you have always dreamed of. 15-minute drive to JBLM and I-5. *Driveway belongs to neighbors*
