About this home

Tucked away in the peaceful Whispering Firs community, this charming end-unit townhome offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy comfortable living in a location that keeps everything within easy reach. Rarely available, the thoughtfully designed two-story floor plan features two generously sized bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and inviting spaces that make everyday living feel effortless. The spacious living area opens to a private, fully fenced patio—perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day—while the primary bedroom enjoys its own private balcony for a quiet retreat. A flexible circular layout, abundant storage, and all appliances included make moving in easy. Two assigned parking spaces, plentiful guest parking, and low monthly dues of just $300, including water, sewer, and garbage, add to the home's outstanding value. Quietly tucked away from the street, yet just minutes from I-5, the Sounder Station, shopping, dining, parks, golf courses, and everyday conveniences, this home delivers the perfect blend of privacy, affordability, and accessibility. With no rental cap, it also presents an excellent investment opportunity for the future.
