Property Description

For the first time in nearly 70 years, this home, lovingly cared for by its original owners, is ready for its next chapter. Custom-built in 1957, it carries the kind of character you simply can't manufacture — gleaming red oak hardwood floors, wood paneling, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning stone fireplace that anchors the living room with quiet drama. The original moldings and doors carry that same warmth throughout, and all of it is in excellent condition — a testament to how this home has been kept. Wake up to westerly views of the Olympic Mountains and the valley below, framed by an expansive picture window that brings the outside in. They're the kind of views that stop you mid-coffee. Three bedrooms, a full bath, fresh interior paint, and a copper-accented kitchen with hood vent and cabinet pulls round out a home that has been tended with pride. Tucked on a no-through street, the neighborhood stays genuinely quiet — yet you're minutes from Hwy 167, the Sounder commuter station, Kent Station shopping and dining, a one-of-a-kind beloved local farm stand and garden center, a major entertainment venue, and the Green River Trail and surrounding hiking paths. Out back, a spacious fully fenced yard with a large patio — perfect for entertaining and dining al fresco — is anchored by two heritage apple tree varieties prized for baking and juicing. Pre-inspected and sewer scoped. Move in and enjoy.
