NOTE: Large lot, GPS leads to back with no access — map to 21236 5th Ave S (neighbor) & follow signs to 21304. Soak in sweeping views of Puget Sound and Mt Rainier from both levels of this classic mid-century home! A spacious layout flows seamlessly from the slate entry to the oversized living room, where a stone fireplace & big windows frame the views and the formal dining room with bay windows — all warmed underfoot by original hardwoods throughout the main floor. The eat-in kitchen offers a fantastic footprint for entertaining & prepping. Step outside to the deck, perfect for al fresco dining, morning coffee & views. Three bedrooms round out the main floor, including a view-filled potential primary & large bath with a soaking tub. Downstairs is where the fun happens: an oversized rec room with a fireplace and sliders to the outdoors, a sunny laundry room with a new W/D, and a big bedroom & bath — ideal for guests, & multigenerational living. Two huge unfinished storage rooms offer room for everything, with potential for future finished space, while multiple outbuildings are ready for tinkering, garden tools, and projects. Fresh paint inside & out, a new roof with warranty, & new fixtures means the hard part is done; just move in! Outside, sprawling grounds are a gardener's dream: winding paths, rose gardens, mature plantings, & fruit trees. Minutes from Des Moines, with great eats, the marina, summer concerts, & farmers market, plus easy access to freeways and the airport.
