Sudden Valley charmer up for grabs and comes fully furnished! This very well-kept one level gem features 3 nice sized bedrooms with newer carpet, great light, and nicely livable spaces complete with newer appliances, including washer and dryer! Two walls of windows facing the street side provide excellent light and is like a window to a forested dreamscape, all fronting a large deck on two sides of the home. With high-quality vinyl plank floors throughout the sprawling living room, warm summer days are cooled by the mini-split A/C and wintery days spent cozy by the hearth. The bathroom is nicely upgraded with double sinks, tile floors and a clean stackable washer and dryer. This move-in ready home is perched at the top of a rise and well positioned on the corner lot to take advantage of the light while still providing a feeling of privacy and seclusion, all while being just 16 minutes from I-5 and services like Whole Foods, Fred Meyer etc. Whether your goal is a great place to live or a short term rental, this property hits all the marks as it is well maintained, light and airy and has been a very successful short term rental.
