About This Home

Perched above the valley on over half an acre with no HOA, this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern home delivers sweeping valley, creek, and wildlife views from nearly every room. The rambler-style main floor features wall-to-wall windows and large sliding glass doors that frame the scenery from the living room, where a statement center fireplace with pellet stove insert anchors the space. The updated kitchen shines with custom soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, full-height ceramic tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, and a charming corner nook with built-in bench seating. Downstairs, tongue-and-groove knotty pine paneling, a brick clad gas fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, extra storage space behind built-in bookshelf create an unforgettable lower level with strong multi-generational conversion potential. The covered wraparound deck is adorned with established wisteria and overlooks manicured lawns, creek, and visiting wildlife below. Major systems are updated throughout including a lifetime metal roof, 2016 furnace and AC, extra attic and wall insulation, and replaced waterlines. Parking is unmatched with a 2-car attached garage, a 2-car detached garage/shop with 220V, a 2-stall carport, and covered RV/boat parking. Minutes to charming Downtown Puyallup, Sounder train stations, and walking distance to Shaw Road Elementary. Award-winning Puyallup Schools.
