Located in a Cul-de-sac & Natural Privacy

You’re driving home on a Monday, ready to decompress. It’s a rainy PNW day, you park the car in the garage, gather your things and walk directly into your home, untouched by the elements of the weather. Sitting on the couch, you ponder what to have for dinner. Maybe you grill outside – there is a break in the rain.

Sully, your yellow lab, has resettled after the initial excitement of your grand reentry. She hopes that you won’t feel the warm spot on the couch where she took her afternoon nap and is sitting pretty. Taking advantage of the break in the rain, you decide to sit outside and throw the ball for her. The deer that was casually grazing leap over the fence into the trees and out of reach of your ferocious pup.

It’s a little chilly but you’ve decided to cook burgers on the BBQ for the 4th week in a row. Who doesn’t love left over and the smell of summer in February.

Single Level Living

Walking through the front door, you enter into the living room. The large double pane vinyl windows throughout the home naturally illuminate each space. The wood burning fireplace and heat pump heat the home efficiently. During the summer, your heat pump will keep you cool.

Originally built in 1988, this home has many well maintained original features – it is one of the things I love most. Do It Yourself (DIY) projects are all the rave and unfortunately most home updates completed by unlicensed professionals have (at best) cosmetic flaws and at worst, system inaccuracies that require a complete redo.

The double pane vinyl windows as well as the hot water heater (installed in January of 2025) are energy efficient upgrades that you’ll enjoy having.

Dining & Kitchen

The kitchen appliances have been replaced overtime, are fully functional and will remain with the property when purchased.

The kitchen sink overlooks your fully fenced backyard. The sellers had a few bird feeders and found great joy in watching the local birds play and sing from the kitchen, dining and patio.

3 Bedrooms (Including Primary Suite)

The entire square footage of this home is just shy of 1,300 square feet. The size of the primary bedroom is surprisingly large. Check the captions of each photo below to gain clarity on bedroom location. Then reference the drawing of the home at the end of this blog to help it all sink in. All bedrooms are well sized and have standard closet storage.

Simplicity and quality. There are a few updates that you’ll find need to be completed. But when they are, you’ll earn that back in equity. Choose to maintain the cosmetic details that are here now or modernize them to your taste. Either way, this home is ready to support your dreams, big and small.
