About This Home

Sit back and relax on the covered deck overlooking a serene pond in Clearwood’s gated community. Nestled among the trees, this light and bright home offers open-concept living with soaring vaulted ceilings, durable laminate flooring, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling river-rock fireplace anchoring the great room. The kitchen features knotty pine cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a comfortable flow for everyday living. Main-floor bedroom and full bath offer convenience, while the loft-style primary suite includes a closet and private full bath. Septic is rated for 3 bedrooms, providing future flexibility. Laundry/utility room includes a charming retro built-in utility sink. Enjoy all that Clearwood has to offer, including lakes, beaches, swimming areas, docks, boat launches, pool/hot tub, parks, sport courts, playgrounds, and miles of maintained wooded trails. Peaceful dead-end street with a wonderfully private feel, yet minutes to Yelm and JBLM East Gate. A great opportunity for full-time living, a weekend retreat, or anyone seeking nature, recreation, and community amenities in one place. Adjacent lot may be available as a separate transaction.
