Comfort awaits in this open, lovingly maintained modern rambler. A groomed front yard welcomes you to the vaulted ceiling living and dining space. This is open concept living. The hardwood floor kitchen with island counter and plenty of cabinets overlooks the living area. Sliding doors take you out onto the deck in the private, fully-fenced backyard.
The master suite is built for relaxing; features include a walk-in closet, and a 5-piece bathroom lit by huge windows curving over the tiled-in jetted tub. A separate shower, his and hers sinks, and large mirrors make this bathroom as functional as it is beautiful.
The rambler is set in an established neighborhood surrounding the North Shore Golf Course. Only 8 miles from downtown Tacoma, and 30 miles from Seattle, the location gives residents plenty of options. It's easy to get out to enjoy the unique landscape of the Puget Sound from this home by visiting nearby parks like Brown's Point Lighthouse Park, or Dash Point State Park which offers beach access, picnic shelters, and miles of trails. Federal Way Commons is also close by for a variety of shopping and dining!

Between Proctor and Old Town—enfolded in a garden of dogwood, lilac, pine and fig—stands a home with picturesque 1920s character.

Cook on the gas range in the eat-in kitchen, picnic under the apple tree in the fenced back yard or go down the hill for waterfront meals.

Home is about place, detail and character. Here, the place is Proctor where the farmers market draws fresh flowers, wild mushrooms and ripe tomatoes. Where the cinema, library, cafe and grocery wait down the street, where the bell rings and kids fill the sidewalk. The details: a new roof in 2020, updated sewer and a fenced back yard. The character, now that’s where the fir floors, covered porch, snowball bush, begonias in the window boxes and arbor arching over the path come in. There’s a story here in which the 2nd floor could be another bedroom, maybe the back bedroom is an office, maybe a table stands in the living room corner to catch the morning light and the car doesn’t leave the garage much since the trails of Puget Park are calling.
