New features combine with classic charm in this single-level home in the sweet North Hill neighborhood. Inside you'll find a spacious and inviting living room featuring newly refinished hardwood floors, and a well-appointed dine-in kitchen with plenty of room for gathering and cooking feasts. Recent updates include a list of nitty-gritty items any homeowner will love to not have to worry about in the near future, including: connected to public sewer and septic decommissioned (2026), replace baseboard heaters with HE heat pump for year-round comfort (2022), new roof (2020). Outside there's room to play, to enjoy cover in the gazebo, to host visitors, to lounge, and to sneak peeks of Mt. Rainier. Additionally, you'll find all the space for your own vegetable and/or cut-flower gardens with raised beds already placed for you, and plenty of room for yard tools and other storage in the two large and well-protected sheds. Always planning your next trip on your boat or in your RV? There's plenty of room in the driveway for either. Worry not about airplane noise inside; the home features triple-paned windows throughout. Welcome Home!
