About this home

Welcome to your private urban oasis—a 4 bed/2.5 bath Craftsman gem at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Updated throughout and designed for living well, this home centers around the art of gathering. The open kitchen flows naturally with bar seating perfect for morning coffee or entertaining friends. But the real magic happens outside. The expansive stone patio is your personal retreat—the heart of this home. Whether you're hosting summer dinners, morning coffee with neighbors, or just unwinding after work, this is where life happens. The thoughtfully designed backyard is truly a hang-out haven: a dedicated play area , a bar with pump sink for cocktails and conversation, mature landscaping, and a gated entry for privacy and security. Even room for RV parking. The bright primary suite with its large windows and attached full bath offers a peaceful retreat of your own. Quick access to WA-512 and Downtown Puyallup means urban convenience without sacrificing your backyard sanctuary. This is more than a house—it's an entertainer's paradise and a haven all in one.
