    What's special

    The best description for this house is a quaint farmhouse meets the modern world. And this lovely old home has the best of both with the charm and character you want in a classic home that has been modernized and updated with 50 year Hardi Plank siding, efficient vinyl windows, and a new roof complete with solar panels that all but eliminate the electric bill. There is new plumbing (both water and drainage) and updated electrical including wiring for a car charger and hot tub, a new gas furnace and hot water heater. All of the heavy lifting in home improvements have been done and paid for and we haven't mentioned how nice the home is. You will appreciate the solid hard wood floors on the main level and fir floors upstairs. There is a very nice fireplace with built ins on each side in the living room. From the living room you enter the dining room and large eat in kitchen through a charming archway. There is plenty of storage in the laundry room and the adjacent mud room located right of the kitchen. Upstairs there are 4 bedroom, 3 of which are very large and there is an opportunity to add another bath making a primary suite, increasing the value in the process. The yard is picture perfect with its white picket fence and variety of fruit trees and berries. The backyard is very private with a covered patio, hot tub and a large grass area perfect for relaxing and enjoying home time. There is a large garage with storage and/or shop space to boot. Just mins to I5, 405 and SeaTac.
