About this home

GREAT opportunity in Parkland at an attractive price point. Public records show a 1900 year built, although the home reportedly took much of its current form in the 1950s, which helps explain its surprisingly cool mid-century modern feel. It's tucked away on a quiet dead-end street near Pacific Lutheran University and just a short drive to I-5 and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Inside, the great room with vaulted ceiling gives the home a distinctive personality, and there's a breezeway plus a surprising amount of storage throughout. The home is dated and hasn't seen many updates in recent years, but there's a lot here to work with. Bring some fresh ideas, tackle a larger renovation or simply improve it a little at a time and make it your own. Buyers may want to consider different financing options, with cash or alternative financing potentially providing more flexibility. The surrounding area is also in transition, with nearby multifamily zoning that may be interesting to investors or developers looking at the longer-term possibilities. Whether you're a first-time buyer attracted by the price, someone looking for a home you can improve over time, or an investor wondering what the future might hold, this is a unique property with several ways to look at it.
