This home is coming onto the market after being owned by the builder and his family for the past 44 years. It is very nice daylight rambler that is at this point in need of some love. The family got as far as putting on a new roof, facia and gutters but are opting to let the new owner make the choices to make the home ,of their dreams. We are pricing it about $120,000 below the market for this house in market condition so the new owners can have the room to make the needed improvements. Unlike most homes in University Place, this home is eligible for an Auxillary Dwelling Unit (AUD). The property backs onto Bristonwood Drive and the city has deemed that it meets all of the setback requirements and the sewer line runs down the edge of the property line past where you could build a cute tiny house. The location of this home is ideal. It is about three blocks from Chambers Bay regional park. The Cirque Drive viewpoint is right there and the walking trails and the play area for kids that is at North Meadow are just minutes from the door. Of course, the golf course is there, too. And, the forthcoming Chambers Bay resort is just down the street which will feature a Tom Douglas restaurant and other amenities. The family says that before the trees grew up there was a water view from the upstairs in this house. But, now there is just a feeling of seclusion and privacy back there. With a little vision, the backyard can be developed into an oasis that would be very unique this close to the city. This home needs to be renovated and is an ideal candidate for an FHA 203(k) renovation loan. You could really make this home into something that you love and you can choose all of the colors, appliances, etc...and you are still buying it well below the market. All of the carpets have been removed and it is ready for new floor coverings. The potential for this home to be beautiful again shines through. The square footage is listed as 1,750 but finishing the downstairs family room would bring the total finished space up to 2,416.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
