SOLD! Auburn WA Country Living! Barn, Shop, 5 Acres!

by

East side of Barn
Iconic barn!

Five acres, 1,900 square feet, a huge shop and a barn make this solidly built home and property a real find for someone wanting to raise a few chickens, horses, or maybe even an alpaca or two.

On the market for the very first time since the family built the home in 1969, the owner’s children (and grandchildren … and great grandchildren) are saddened to see this home now being sold, but tell me that the memories contained within its walls will last a lifetime.

With generous spaces including a massive family room that was home to jigsaw puzzles and game playing, the home features a formal living/dining room combination with a wall-to-wall built-in china hutch, three bedrooms (could easily be four), plus two full baths.

Located inside the Auburn city limits and situated down a private lane, the home and land are just moments away from Highway 18 and Green River Community College and within a block or so walking distance to the newer Jacobsen Elementary and Auburn Mountainview High School. Live here and you’ll also be only five minutes from Covington with its Costco and extensive shopping areas.

Complete your own updates to the kitchen, baths, and amenities and then build your own memories within these cherished walls.

SOLD! Rare Rambler Resale at The Lakes in Kent, WA

by

Rare Resale Rambler Townhouse at The Lakes in Kent, WA
Rare Resale Rambler Townhouse at The Lakes in Kent, WA

There weren’t many rambler units built throughout the entire The Lakes community in Kent. They don’t come up for sale often and, when they do, they tend to sell quickly, especially when they’re as beautiful as this one.

Updated and meticulously maintained, pride of ownership is evident both inside and out of this stylish unit. Consider the designer paints, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous travertine tile baths, spacious kitchen, two bedrooms, and den/office.

There are newer windows providing loads of natural light throughout the home, a wood-burning fireplace for cool winter nights, and your own private, fenced back yard — perfect for BBQs, morning coffee, or growing your own tomatoes. Enhanced by miles of walking trails along the Green River (accessed through your back gate) and your own garage, this townhouse should be on your must-see list!

All on ONE level with no stairs and in a super commuting location just minutes from I-5, 167, and SeaTac!

  • MLS #679220
  • 1,345 Square Feet per County Records
  • Built in 1989
  • Living & Dining Rooms
  • Kitchen with Eating Space
  • 2 Bedrooms, plus Den/Study/Office
  • 2 Bathrooms: one full bath with tub/shower combo & one 3/4 bath off master with large walk-in shower

Graham, WA-5+ Bedrooms & USDA, Zero-Down Financeable!

by

sold

 

LISTING DETAILS

Price $269,000 
MLS number 612338
Bedrooms 5-6
Bathrooms 3.5
Garage 3-Car Tandem
Size 2,985 Square Feet
Year Built 2009 (completed in January 2010)

Just relisted at $269,000, this amazing Michael’s Landing home sits within the USDA financing boundaries, which means you may be able to purchase it with a zero down payment. It’s priced well below new construction in the north Graham, south hill Puyallup area, along with being priced less than other homes in the neighborhood. The owners really want to move on!

Make no mistake — this isn’t a fixer-upper. It’s a beautiful home with an incredible floor plan. You can’t help but fall in love with this five-bedroom plus den youngster in Graham. Especially when you consider that this beautiful home features architectural details throughout — arched niches (perfect for those art collectibles you’re anxious to show off), arched doorways and walls, pan ceilings.

The home is just shy of 3,000 square feet and features five bedrooms, with a sixth room with closet on the main floor–perfect for a guest room, hobby room, or den. In addition, you’ll find a 1/2-bath, powder room on the main floor, plus three full bathrooms on the upper floor.

With five bedrooms, you might be tempted to think rooms are small and crowded; definitely not so in this amazing floor plan! All of the spaces here are generous and oh so livable! (As a broker side note: I’ve actually sold this same floor plan in various locations three times. All of the owners love the way this house lives!!)

Easy care floors lead you from the entry through to the dining room, powder room, and great room. The kitchen features an island sink layout with plenty of seating at its counter. Included is the walk-in pantry large enough for those Costco trips, too! The kitchen/great room is also accented by a gas fireplace, which you’ll love for toasting the toes on wet or cold winter nights.

Upstairs are the bedrooms and baths, of course, but also a bonus room entered through double doors. Home theater? Or maybe a pool table? It’s big enough! You’ll also find a good-sized laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer that stay with the home.

The master suite, nicely accented with a double-door entry and pan ceiling, can easily accommodate a king-sized bed. Through its interior arched doorway you’ll find two BIG walk-in closets, plus a nicely-appointed bath with double vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and private commode room.

The outside of the home shows such pride of ownership. The fully-fenced back yard was refreshed with brand new hydroseeding last Fall. In front, the lush lawn and beds are carefully manicured and trimmed.

Visit the virtual tour for additional photos and information!

Don’t miss this one! Contact your own Realtor(r), or give me a call to see the home. I’m delighted to be of service to you!

Another Maple Valley Closed Sale!

by

With great thanks to everyone involved, I’m pleased to announce the closed sale of this absolutely wonderful home in Valley Meadows. With multiple offers, we were able to come to contract within about a week of listing.

SOLD-Front

 The honor roll includes:

  • Brandon – the Buyer
  • Dean & Debbie – the Sellers
  • Andy – the relocation rep
  • Sara and Rob from Stewart Title – the title and escrow folks
  • Josh Hall – the Buyer’s broker
  • Dave Jagosh of Pacific NW Home Inspections – the Seller’s inspector
  • and me of course – the Seller’s broker

So … how was it done?

My clients (the Sellers) were fantastic. They prepped the house exactly as suggested, including having the home pre-inspected, then completed everything on the inspection list. It helped that we used one of the very best inspectors in the area – in fact the seller’s inspector also turned out to be the preferred inspector for the Buyer.

We did some careful marketing, targeting the home in the MLS with a full-fledged suite of photos, along with adding another 30 or so photos on my Web site, along with being sure the listing appeared on several hundred other sites.

Did we have careful talks about price? You betcha! The right price brought the expected offers with fully preapproved Buyers. With a bit of negotiation, everyone was thrilled!

 So a HUGE thank you and Congratulations to everyone involved!

Valley Meadows Resale in Maple Valley WA

Rare Valley Meadows resale! Sitting on a lovingly landscaped corner lot backing to neighborhood park path is this ‘like new’ home with gorgeous millwork, shiny hardwoods, gleaming tile work and fresh paint.

Gorgeous Chaffey Homes Resale
Too Cute!

Perfect both for entertaining and for quiet moments, the home’s open floor plan features formal living and dining rooms, formal den, family room with gas fireplace, island kitchen, and patio. Even a darling playhouse!

Grand Open Staircase

Throughout the home, every room is truly generous in size with large windows, which open the home to wonderful natural light. Just off the entry, the grand staircase leads up to the bonus/loft-perfect for play or maybe TV space?

 

Just off the loft are three bedrooms, and the compartmented main bath with double vanity, which is also open, Continental-style, to one of the bedrooms.

 

Just One Side of the Master Bedroom

 

 

Then, step through double doors to the master ensuite with its peaked ceiling. Large enough for a huge bed, plus sitting furniture, imagine bubble baths in the deep soaking tub … and all the clothes you can organize in the huge walk-in closet.

The owners have done everything possible to prepare this home for new owners. The pre-inspection report is available for your review during your personal tour.
