Description

Mt. Rainier views, 5 bedrooms, bonus room, covered deck, 2 car garage-this lovingly maintained home in a sought after neighborhood next to green space with a flowing stream checks all the boxes. A rose lined front porch with Japanese maple trees is the kind of welcome home that just feels right. Inside, tall ceilings, a wall of windows and luxury vinyl plank flooring create a bright, airy flow through the living room, dining room and chef's kitchen. Quartz countertops with a touch of sparkle, a walk in pantry, abundant storage and tiled gas fireplace make the main floor genuinely hard to leave. The main floor bedroom and half bath are perfect for guests, a home office or a gym. Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a large bonus room just waiting to become your library, playroom or media room. The vaulted primary suite is a real highlight with peek-a-boo Mt. Rainier views, a walk-in closet, double sinks and a walk-in shower. Out back, the covered deck is genuinely usable year round and the backyard offers raised garden beds and a low-maintenance paver patio. Freshly painted and move-in ready, this one has been truly loved and is ready for its next chapter.
