About this home

Never before on the market. Original owner, meticulously maintained, and rare pride of ownership inside and out! Continually updated and upgraded, this 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home lives large on two complete levels. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit downstairs alongside a second living area, ideal for guests or a private home office wing. The open main level was built for gathering, and the kitchen is the heart of it with rich full-height cabinetry, granite counters, a glass mosaic backsplash and stainless appliances that stay. A beautiful granite island anchors the space and flows straight into a light-filled living room warmed by a propane fireplace. Crown molding and custom carpentry throughout, Venetian plaster accent walls, open railing and tile in all three baths give it a custom feel you rarely see at this price, the lower bath includes radiant heated floors. Comfort is covered year-round with forced air heat and central A/C, along with Ethernet cabling throughout the home, built-in garage cabinets and a Ring security system that stays. Outside, the backyard steals the show. A huge covered Trex deck overlooks a fully fenced yard with mature manicured landscaping, established grapes, dedicated garden space, chicken coop and outdoor storage shed. Out front, a recently installed paver driveway sets the tone the moment you arrive. Truly move-in ready and just minutes to I-5, schools shopping and JBLM.
