Freshly refreshed, here is a beloved ranch-style home in Laurelwood available for the first time since 1964. The home is flooded with natural light. Offering 4 bedrooms and 1.75 baths over a shy 1700 square feet, this MCM classic boasts an elegant, time-tested floor plan. For the enthusiast, many original plumbing and lighting fixtures remain--not to mention the original kitchen and bath cabinets, complete with Formica counters. The main bathroom features a comfort-height toilet and walk-in shower. Outside the large slider waits a spacious covered patio and mature garden waiting for your loving touch. Move through the French door from the primary suite to the deck and hot tub. The back garden also includes a vintage play house and metal storage shed. Laurelwood is a neighborhood built in the 1960s and 70s featuring the typical MCM ranch, cottage, and split-level style homes. Unlike other neighborhoods built in the same era, Laurelwood features sidewalks and a city park. It's great for commuting: Just 15 miles north of Tacoma and 21 miles south of Seattle. Now that the light rail extension is complete, the entire region is easily accessible via public transit. Groceries and sundries are just a quick 10-minutes away--without a car. Come home to comfort, come home to Laurelwood!
