About this home

Welcome to this beautifully updated 1,220 sq ft rambler offering style, comfort, and peace of mind. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home was thoughtfully renovated in 2021 with significant investments throughout, including a newer roof, electrical, plumbing, windows, recently renovated crawl space, and an energy-efficient mini-split providing year-round heating and cooling. Inside, you'll love the bright, functional floor plan designed for everyday living. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, expansive prep space, and abundant storage. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, creating a clean, modern look. An attached one-car garage and additional driveway parking add everyday convenience. Situated on an expansive 10,500 sq. ft. lot, enjoy a beautifully manicured lawn, raised garden beds, a fire pit, and plenty of room to entertain, garden, or simply relax. The generous lot may also offer future ADU potential (buyer to verify), creating even more flexibility and additional income streams for years to come. Ideally located near restaurants, shopping, parks, SR-512, I-5, and JBLM, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and accessibility. It doesn't get much more turnkey than this - Beautifully updated, meticulously cared for, and truly move-in ready. This is the kind of home that lets you settle in with confidence in all the new systems and quality finishes, so you can spend more time enjoying everything home should be.
