The kitchen retains its original charm while receiving a fresh update with new stone countertops, sink and tapware, providing a beautiful and functional starting point today, with the freedom to renovate further in the future. The main bathroom is being newly renovated, while the second bathroom retains its original character. One of the home's hidden gems is the large, light-filled sunroom. Overlooking the backyard, it provides wonderfully flexible additional space for relaxing, working from home, reading, creating, entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons. Outside, the approximately quarter-acre property offers a private backyard with room to garden, entertain or create your own outdoor retreat. An attached two-car garage provides valuable parking, storage and workshop space. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, roof repairs, planned roof painting, new guttering, a renovated main bathroom and kitchen updates including stone countertops, new sink and tapware. And then there's the location. Five Mile Lake Park is just a short walk away, putting swimming, fishing, walking trails, playgrounds, sports courts, picnic areas and lakeside recreation practically on your doorstep. Everyday life is convenient too, with Milton shopping, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and services just minutes away by car, along with easy connections to Federal Way and the surrounding South King County communities.
