Property Description

Mid Century home on Corner lot in UNIVERSITY PLACE SCHOOL district. This home was featured in BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS magazine in 1958; once decorated by RHODES department store. A classic and noteworthy home that still serves the way we live today. WALLS of glass take in the views of University Place and CURTIS SCHOOLS while filling the home with natural light. New kitchen with all appliances, cabinetry, and quartz counters opens to a bright living area and soaring wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, while the lower level lives like its own guest quarters, complete with bedroom area, FULL bath, living/dining area, and kitchenette area. Here you have a 2nd FULL FRIDGE, 2nd microwave, and sink, just add an air fryer. DETACHED studio space w/ chandelier is perfect work-from-home space; think quiet time for office or even a home gym (about 10x10). The massive outdoor patio and retro landscaping give the vibe of a bygone era, think courtyard, outdoor dining room and a true indoor/outdoor feeling. All this situated on a corner lot in University Place; WALKING DISTANCE to Curtis Jr. and Senior High Schools. Proximate to parks, Grandview Trail, Chambers Bay, and UP Towne Center; Think Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Starbucks. This is a RARE one; this is "THAT HOUSE that was in the MAGAZINE" that you get to live in; it will be the one that you say "OH NO!" someone got it before me.
