Home is always a vital part of life, but as many of us spend more time at home than ever before, our homes are important in new ways. If you need room to gather and space for solitude, a dedicated home office, a schoolroom, quiet corners, and maybe even the chance to feel like you’re visiting the spa, this home can be all those things.
The easy and open living space created by the seamless flow between the eat-in kitchen and comfortable family room is the heart of this house. Step through the sliding glass doors and you’re out on a covered patio with overhead fans and lights, and complete with cable for outdoor movie nights. A pond rests at one end of the patio, and that spa we mentioned is waiting in the form of a hot tub under the open sky not too far from the fire pit. A staycation, or just a break at the end of the day, is starting to sound good.
To complement these everyday comfortable living spaces, the home also offers a vaulted ceiling front living room with an arched entry into the formal dining room. When you’ve explored all of this, and found the nook under the stairs, the laundry room, the 3/4 bath, and the home office (all on the main floor!), you can head up the open staircase to take in the suite with its tiled 5-piece bathroom and expansive walk-in closet. Down the hall 3 additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a bonus room complete the 2nd floor.
A note from the sellers: Built in 2004-05, this house has been home to just one family. That’s a lot of living! They especially loved spending time in the family room, baking at the kitchen island where the kids could pull up a stool, and hanging out on the patio. We know everyone has their own vision for colors and their favorite shades of paint. To that end, the homeowners are offering a $5,000 credit toward painting the interior. Start dreaming up your color scheme!
Set in Southwood Estates in the Sunrise community, this home is close to schools, groceries, restaurants, parks and walking trails. Just step out your front door onto the sidewalk to take walks, jogs, or bike rides around Southwood and surrounding neighborhoods. When National Night Out comes around, a trolley makes its way through the community to deliver you to the clubhouse for a party. We know those days will come again! For now, take advantage of a private fenced back yard. Did we mention it only takes an hour to drive to Mount Rainier National park from here?

Location
Built by OakRidge Homes, this house is set in the Southwood Estates neighborhood in the Sunrise/South Hill area of Puyallup. The double sidewalks, parks and playgrounds, community festivals, and clubhouse create opportunities for getting outside, meeting your neighbors, and building a sense of belonging.
At the south end of South Hill with the Puyallup River flowing to the east, it’s easy to reach groceries, restaurants, schools, cities, or farmland from here. The Southwood Estates neighborhood in Sunrise is 30 minutes from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, 35 minutes from downtown Tacoma, and just over 20 minutes from downtown Puyallup.
And if you’re really looking for a change of scene (maybe the mountain view from the suite upstairs is calling), it only takes an hour to reach Mount Rainier National Park. People travel across the world to get up close with this mountain and its beautiful wilderness areas. You can leave on a Saturday morning, choose a trail, and picnic on the mountainside by lunch. A way to get outdoors even closer to home is to embark on the Foothills Trail, a 21 mile trail for hikers and cyclists.
But maybe you’d like to know what’s down the street, like where you might get a cup of coffee, pick up a gallon of milk or find a flat of fresh summer berries. Well, for a start, Sunrise Village offers Tuesday Village Farmers Markets August to September. And although outdoor concerts are on hold this year, we hope the tradition of live music in the summer continues in future.
