Sold - Summit Homestead

At the end of the road a one-story farmhouse lives between an orchard and secluded meadow on a level, shy-acre framed by quaking aspen, fir, and ash trees. Approach on the paved and gated driveway which leads to a 2-car garage with attached workshop and canning room. Pick apples, plums, pears, cherries, and figs from mature trees; roam freely in the grass, and plant vegetables in sun soaked garden beds. Store your equipment in the big garden shed then head inside to prepare homegrown produce in the eat-in kitchen. Relax by watching the leaves change from the sun porch, curling up next to the wood stove, or soaking in the primary suite's private bath. This Summit homestead is perfectly placed between life in Tacoma and the heart of Puyallup.
