Views, views, and more views! Here is your opportunity to own a home on the West Slope of Tacoma. They don't come along very often. Imagine waking up to the sun hitting your view of the Olympic mountains, the salt waters of the Puget Sound, and all the islands visible from the West Slope. During the day enjoy the updated Trex deck with glass panels and watch planes take off from the Tacoma Narrows Airport, boats on the Sound, and amazing sunsets each night with the Narrows Bridges as your backdrop. Well cared for and fully remodeled home with custom kitchen built by local "high end" cabinet maker. Beautiful cabinetry, granite counter tops, and the layout designed to maximize your view. Heated floors in kitchen and bathrooms for wonderful radiant heat in the winter months. Custom trim work throughout the whole house with solid hardwood doors. Large, trim-wrapped, "low e-glass" windows frame the beautiful views. Top-down bottom-up shades. The entire home was designed with the views in mind and there are even partial views from the downstairs. Original "Carolina Oak" hardwood floors throughout the upstairs of the home. Updated HVAC system with air conditioning. Updated hot water heater over the last few years with updated electrical panel. Enjoy two low-maintenance high-producing blueberry bushes, a small raspberry patch, and an established apple tree. Same family ownership on this home for the last 68 years! Welcome home!
