SOLD! Every home sale has a story. Some create a ripple effect far beyond the transaction. This home was the right fit for everyone involved. The seller needed to move closer to family and begin a new chapter. At the same time, the buyers were searching for something very specific. They needed space for themselves, room for storage, and the ability to provide a better housing situation for friends who were living in a very difficult rental. Another friend also needed a place to store belongings. One property solved all of those problems. In the end, this single sale helped four different families move forward in a better situation. Real estate is often thought of as numbers, contracts, and closing dates. But sometimes the impact reaches much further. Homes have a way of changing lives, and occasionally the ripple spreads farther than anyone expected. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this one happen.

Set on approximately 1.34 acres, this special property offers privacy, space, and a setting that feels removed from the rush of daily life while remaining just minutes from I-5 and Highway 167. Mature trees along the front and side of the property create a natural buffer, giving the home a peaceful, tucked-away feel with room to grow, explore, and create. The 1,311-square-foot home features two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath, with a remodeled kitchen and bathroom that balance modern updates with the home’s early-1900s character. The kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a chef-style faucet, making it both functional and inviting. From the home, back deck, and backyard, enjoy scenic views of Mount Rainier that add a quiet sense of place to everyday living. Comfort and efficiency are thoughtfully addressed with a tankless water heater, propane heat, and supplemental electric heat. As the original home in the area, the property still reflects the open spacing and generous land that defined its beginnings. A true highlight is the detached three-car garage, offering far more than parking. It features updated electrical, its own water heater, hot and cold water, a refrigerator, ample storage, and a large loft area above, ideal for hobbies, a workshop, or creative use. An attached greenhouse expands the possibilities even further, whether you enjoy gardening, projects, or simply having a flexible bonus space. Outdoors, the property includes a chicken coop and an additional storage shed, reinforcing the versatility of this 1.34-acre setting. The home is connected to Summit Water, a rare and valuable feature in this area. Private, spacious, and full of possibility, this is a rare opportunity to own usable acreage with Mount Rainier views, upgraded systems, and exceptional outbuildings, all while staying conveniently close to major commuting routes, shopping, and services.
