Imagine…stepping out of your primary suite onto your own private deck, coffee in hand, the Olympics stretched out to the west and Mount Rainier holding the southern horizon. The suite takes the entire upstairs, the adjoining space flexing to an office, a nursery, or extra closet space. A heat pump went in last fall, so summer up here is a pleasure, not an endurance test. Does it need a few cosmetic updates? Sure, but in this location, at this price, that’s an easy yes. The two main-floor bedrooms are generous, and a double sink in the full bath keeps the peace at tooth-brushing time. Evening is when this house earns it. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 2,430 finished square feet open onto 465 square feet of lower deck, plumbed with a natural gas line and built for a crowd. Have people over and it becomes a whole evening out there, plates passed around, the mountains going pink, conversation running past sunset. Downstairs, the finished daylight basement already earns its keep, with a rec room to sprawl in and a bonus space for a home office or a huge mudroom. Then there’s the garage, the kind you won’t often find in this area at this price point. Park three cars, two of them tandem, with room for storage, with a built-in workbench and the laundry room right alongside. And once the day winds down, that’s not what stays with you. A fire going, the 7,150-square-foot lot dark around you, and Rainier just there against the last light. Can you imagine living here?
