Well-kept and comfortable, this rambler welcomes you with tasteful updates and unexpected details. One especially lovely bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, wood floors, and a walk-in closet features French doors opening to the private, fully-fenced brick patio. Imagine the summer view with pots of herbs and flowers blossoming on the other side of the glass. Along with the living and dining room, a renovated family room offers an additional spot to relax and get cozy.
The home is allergy friendly with energy efficient ductless heat pumps for heating and cooling, and hard flooring - original oak floors, new engineered hickory wood floors, and lifetime warranty laminate flooring - all beautiful easy to clean surfaces that don’t soak up dust! Freshly painted walls are ready for favorite framed pieces and a fireplace insert adds ambience. Soak in the tiled corner tub with its Roman faucet, or clean-up in the separate shower; the full bath has it all. With a laundry room adjacent to the kitchen this is convenient, single-level living.
With room for gardening in front, the private brick patio in back, and a detached 2 car garage, you’ll find this home situated on a large lot in South Tacoma. University Place shopping and the Tacoma Mall are within 10 minutes, with parks, and a wide array of groceries nearby as well.
Continue on for the video tour, photos, neighborhood highlights (including driving time and distance to a list of Tacoma favorites), and many more details about this home.
The front and side yard of this spacious lot offer lots of room for landscaping, or lawn, and you'll notice beautiful mature trees as well.

Living-Dining Room
Step inside the living and dining room with their original oak floors. Notice the fresh paint and smooth coat ceiling throughout the house.
House is heated and cooled with energy-efficient heat pump and three individual mini-split units (notice one beside the front window).
From the front door, the warm tones of original oak hardwood floors welcome you into the living and dining space. Window light brightens the room and a white brick fireplace is ready to make it cheery. Freshly painted walls and smooth coated ceilings throughout the home bring a crisp and clean character to the cozy atmosphere.
Although the fireplace insert is present for charm, the house is heated and cooled with an energy-efficient heat pump with three individual mini-split units. Warm in winter, cool in summer.

Kitchen
Tiled counter and backsplash, double stainless sink, and a good amount of cabinet storage. The full set of appliances stays.
To the left of the front door, this area can be set up as the main dining area, or can be used as shown here with a mobile kitchen island and smaller breakfast table.
Turn left from the front door to enter the kitchen where a second large front window allows daylight to shine in. Set up a small table, and mobile island as this homeowner has done, or leave the space more open to dedicate to your main dining table. With an entire family room addition, there are many options for using this space. All the appliances stay, so this kitchen is set and ready. Tidy and not too narrow, this kitchen has a tile countertop and tile backsplash. And my favorite feature in a kitchen, a window over the sink! Every kitchen sink should come with a window above, and this one looks out over the private back patio. Another nice feature of this kitchen is the circular flow to the living and dining room; no dead-ends! Just turn right past the stove to reach the hall leading back to the bedrooms or into the living space.
Find the laundry room conveniently adjacent as well.
Side-by-side fridge, smooth top stove, and microwave (dishwasher is beside the sink). Turn right past the stove to enter the hallway at the end of the living room.
A rolling kitchen island like this one expands the counter space. Notice the laundry room is conveniently located just outside the kitchen.
Family Room
This renovated family room features dimmable recessed lighting and high-quality, lifetime-warranty laminate flooring. So much extra space added to the home with this room.
The renovated family room adds valuable space and flexibility to the home.

The one sure thing is this room is a wonderful addition to the home.
Design this room as a traditional family room for reading, playing games, and watching movies, or set up a home office, studio, or exercise area.
3 Bedrooms
Spacious bedroom with wooden vaulted ceilings, brick accent wall, beautiful new engineered hickory wood floors, walk-in closet and French doors that open onto the back patio.
Walk-in closet with pretty wooden walls and plenty of space!
All 3 bedrooms are nice, comfortable rooms, but this one is the star. Spacious, with vaulted ceilings, beautiful new engineered hickory wood floors, a walk-in closet, and French doors to the brick patio where your favorite flowers, herbs, tomatoes, and ornamental trees can bloom in pots from spring through summer. The brick accent wall and pine ceiling bring so much character and texture to this very pretty room.
View from the corner of the bedroom to the French doors leading to the fully-fenced back patio.
One of 3 bedrooms, this room features original oak hardwood floor and fresh paint as found throughout the home.
But don’t forget the two other bedrooms! These rooms are freshly painted (like the rest of the interior) with tasteful neutral tones that take well to any quilts, comforters, curtains, paintings, and posters you’re bringing along. The original oak floors continue into these rooms from the living and dining area.
Another fresh and comfortable bedroom with original oak floors, window light, and crisp paint. Find this bedroom with its spacious closet at the end of the hall leading from the front living room.
Bathroom
Full bath includes a tiled-in corner tub with Roman faucet, a separate stall shower, and large vanity with glass tile countertop.
This isn’t your typical off-the-hall bathroom. This full bath includes a tiled-in corner tub with Roman faucet and a separate stall shower. The large vanity with glass tile counter top is built with more than the usual cupboards and drawers for storage. Notice the sweet rounded window with privacy glass.
This is a tub for soaking! Privacy glass in the windows and a separate shower complete the room.
Laundry
The laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen and family room with a door to the back patio. Newer high-efficiency washer and dryer stay with the home.
Located just off the kitchen and with a door into the family room or out to the back patio, this laundry room is convenient and accessible. No descent into a cold basement here! These newer high-efficiency front-load washer and dryer stay with the home.
Outside
A view of the fully-fenced patio where you can grow herbs, tomatoes, flowers, and even ornamental trees and shrubs and set up a bbq and patio furniture for Al fresco dining.
Set up a dining table, umbrella, and maybe a lounge chair on the patio just outside the bedroom doors. Imagine this place in summer!
This large lot includes a two-car garage, with electric door opener, work bench, and machine shop area.
Along with room for gardening and landscaping in the front and side yards, this property includes a fully-fenced brick patio. Step out the French doors from the bedroom, or take the door from the laundry area. You have to imagine the growing season with flowers blooming, or container gardens of lettuce sprouting, and tomatoes ripening back here. A bright umbrella and patio furniture will draw you out to this private space for Al fresco dining with friends, or just a nice cup of iced tea in the afternoon.
The front and side yards are where you’ll find grass and where you could create landscaped areas, build paths, set up raised beds, or continue to maintain the lawn.
This large, corner lot also includes a detached two-car garage, with electric door opener. Inside the garage find a work bench and machine shop area. This building has so much potential and would be great for all your projects.
A paved path beside garden beds and lawn leads to the front door of 4801.
