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?

There’s a lot more to know about this home and the location. Continue on for the video tour, photos, details, and a special location section including travel time and distance to a list of Sunrise and South Hill favorites nearby.

Even with all the private rooms this home has to offer, we expect you'll find yourself spending a lot of time in this open family living space. Oak hardwoods extend through the kitchen where raised panel maple cabinets hang above and below granite tile counters. With pendant lights, under-cabinet lights, and can lights, this kitchen is as bright as you'd like. Gradual lighting allows for just a soft suggestion of light too.

Pull a chair up to the kitchen island to chat with the cook, help with baking, or for snack time. With space for a full kitchen table by the sliding doors, and a formal dining room nearby, you won't find yourself needing to clear a project off the t…

Pull a chair up to the kitchen island to chat with the cook, help with baking, or for snack time. With space for a full kitchen table by the sliding doors, and a formal dining room nearby, you won't find yourself needing to clear a project off the table every time you want to eat. You'll notice an archway on the left leading to the 3/4 bath, office, and laundry room.

Another feature to note about this open kitchen is the backsplash that matches the fireplace surround. Open the maple cabinets and you’ll find a convenient Lazy Susan style corner cupboard, as well as pull-outs that make accessing all your kitchen tools and linens much easier than just fixed shelving. The newer dishwasher runs quietly. Good counter space, lots of storage, and a big walk-in pantry make sure you can do all the cooking you’d like.

The family room is a spot to get comfortable and warm (or cool -  the home is set up with air conditioning). A gas fireplace makes it homey, built-ins offer storage, and alcoves create shape and visual interest.

A graceful arched opening leads into the dining room from the foyer. Bring in an area rug for color, set up your table of choice, and then plan for parties and holidays. This dining room also connects to the kitchen for convenience. Friends and guests can gather in the vaulted ceiling living room before the meal. If you're not an entertainer, you can still bring out the pretty dishes and serve your family and close friends in here for special occasions, or just because you made your favorite lasagna. Or, imagine all the other ways to use this room!

The front living room is just a few steps away from the family room, but with the vaulted ceiling, open staircase rising through it, and a big front window, this room is more elegant. Eat popcorn and play cards in the family room, and set up something a bit more refined in here. We're imagining tall, beautiful houseplants with the high ceilings and plenty of light.

Home Office, 3/4 Bath & Laundry

Before we head up that open staircase, there's a final set of rooms on the main floor to explore. Move through the kitchen and you'll find this home office on the right. Double glass doors lead into the office, a window overlooks the back yard near the pond, and the 3/4 bath is nearby in the hall for convenience. If you've been working from your bedroom, joining conference calls from the closet, this room will be a relief.

The main floor 3/4 bath is just outside the home office, a few steps away from the kitchen, and is a vital part of the convenience of this home. Yes, there are 2 full baths upstairs, but this is the bathroom you can direct your guests to, the one that's easily accessible while you're working from the office, or watching movies in the family room. The stall shower includes a built-in seat, and the vanity top is tiled with nice detailing in the backsplash.

A dedicated main floor laundry space is a thing of beauty. This one includes a front-loading, side-by-side washer and dryer set, cabinets above for storage, and a tiled utility sink beside. Accessible from the suite of rooms off the kitchen that inc…

Accessible from the suite of rooms off the kitchen that includes the home office and 3/4 bath, the laundry room is also the interior entry to the 2 car garage.

Private Suite with 5-Piece Bath, Walk-in Closet & Vaulted Ceiling Bedroom

At the top of the stairs, double doors lead into the private suite with its full bath and walk-in closet. First stop is the vaulted ceiling bedroom with views to Mount Rainier through the windows overlooking the back yard.

The walk-in closet is truly a walk-in, not one of those you can just get your feet in before turning around. It's actually a walk-through as there are doors at each end. Set up with shelves and lots of rods for hanging shirts, dresses, and suits, this closet is spacious and easily shared.

Just inside the private full bath is a separate stall for the toilet. Set apart from the tub and wide vanity, this arrangement makes this bathroom really shareable, and is especially convenient if two people are trying to get ready at the same time in the morning.

We breezed by it a bit before, but the tiled vanity in this bathroom is quite nice. It's set with 2 oval sinks, a wide mirror, cupboards and drawers for tucking away all your necessities, and good lighting above.

At the end of the upstairs hall, set up over the garage, you'll find the bonus room. Considering there's an office downstairs, and 4 bedrooms up here, this is really a get-creative and dream room. There's a closet on the right when you first step in, and with the door shut it's really quiet in here. 3 windows bring in natural light, and there's a lot of space in here. Set up a schoolroom, exercise studio, game room, a big second office, or anything else you can think of.

Down the hall with the bedrooms and bonus room is this 2nd full bath. A large tiled vanity with 2 sinks is separated from the rest of the bathroom, so others can brush teeth, while one showers, takes a bath, or uses the toilet. Like the full bath in…

Down the hall with the bedrooms and bonus room is this 2nd full bath. A large tiled vanity with 2 sinks is separated from the rest of the bathroom, so others can brush teeth, while one showers, takes a bath, or uses the toilet. Like the full bath in the private suite, the separation of these different areas makes the bathroom easily shareable, which is certainly a convenience if there are several people together in a home.

Now take a deep breath of fresh air. Once you're out here on the covered patio, you might stay awhile. And that's a good thing. Set up with lights, overhead fans, and cable, this patio is a second family room, another dining room, a place for cookouts, for movie nights, for backyard campouts. Enjoy.

The pond beside the patio includes a waterfall fountain. Surrounded by ornamental grasses, this is a quiet, calming spot.

At the other end of the patio, near the fire pit area, is the hot tub. It's professionally wired and it's only been used for a year. With autumn coming and bringing cooler nights, this hot tub will be welcome.

A fire pit set into pea gravel gives you that campout feeling without leaving home. Roast marshmallows and watch the stars.

The homeowners put lots of time and work into leveling this back yard. A low raised wall flanks the back fence creating a raised bed for gardening. French drains and a sump pump are invisible assets, but great additions to the lot.

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.

Take a look at our list of practical and popular nearby destinations below.
