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

November 4, 2014 by Gabrielle

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.

Move In By The Holidays & Have GORGEOUS Land, Trees, Privacy & Easy Living!

September 14, 2010 by Gabrielle

Quiet & Peaceful perfectly describes this idyllic property located in Ravensdale. With 2.28 fully-fenced & gated acres, you’ll have plenty of room to raise critters, garden, park your toys, or just enjoy the lovely waterfall and pond.

This 1536 sq ft home features a gigantic living room & dining room—both with bay windows, nicely appointed kitchen and laundry, plus three bedrooms. The master bedroom, located at one end of the home features a private 5-piece master bath, complete with soaking tub. And just down the hall is another huge bath, also with double sinks, soaking tub, and shower.

The owner recently updated all of the windows and carpeting, installed a Gen-Tran to guard against possible power outages, and built a roofed and concrete based shelter as additional parking (he uses it for an outdoor exercise space). In addition, the detached 2-car garage, plus another outbuilding provides yet more storage and living space. The outbuilding is currently used for rough storage, with one end as a wonderful roofed and floored dog kennel, complete with dog runs.

A previous owner had horses and the property has still has some cross-fencing. With just a little renovation, you’ll have great pasture areas!

Another Transaction Closed!

June 30, 2010 by Gabrielle

There are some transactions that are particularly satisfying when they finally close.

I have to say that this Listing is one that took exceptional effort, but after visiting the home to drop off keys to the new buyers, their palpable excitement and relief about being in their new home just left me with such a sense of fulfillment.

Now this was a transaction just overflowing with issues … big issues! Shortly after listing, there were difficulties with the weather, with leaks in the kitchen, with the estate auction (hmmmmmm, I’ll think twice, 3 times, about recommending that guy again), then with fielding call after call after call of low offers from agents informing me that the price was too high and that the place just wasn’t worth anything more than the land. And yet there were offers — eight of them. Most were close to the asking price. Others not so much. One was dreadfully low.

And then there were endless visits to the County and the City of Auburn trying to find appropriate records for permits, as-builts, well certifications, foundation requirements, and on and on. Meeting with contractors for bids and work to be done.

However, floating through all of this were these Buyers. They made three offers before the Seller felt secure that the offer was strong and solid enough to survive the remaining challenges of missing permits, foundation certification, title elimination, etc.

Finally, FINALLY, six weeks to the day after the contract scheduled closing date, it did. What a cause for celebration!

I remain grateful for my client, the Seller, who repeatedly listened to my advice and then took it. As with every client, we talked often. About how things were going, or not going, or just the general frustration of trying to get things done. At the end, about the frustration of the current lending climate where a Buyer’s approval could get challenged over the most mundane and ridiculous items. About the Department of Licensing who decided that they didn’t like the “appearance” of a notary’s stamp, and on and on.

The house sale closed! (whew)

5-Acre Mini-Ranch

November 13, 2009 by Gabrielle

Got horses, goats, alpacas, mini-beef?

Close to Auburn, Lake Tapps and city commuting, this five-acre mini-ranch is the best value in the neighborhood and perfect for your equestrian or other animal pastimes.

From the moment you enter the property through the remote-controlled gate, you’ll both be charmed by the thoughtful touches surrounding the house itself, and completely impressed by the two huge shops! There’s way too much to describe here, but consider that the flower beds are surrounded by poured concrete edges, there are numerous little water features, the house is surrounded by a walk-around deck, and entered through a wonderful covered porch. Step inside to a sun-lit entry (complete with a sun-tube), and then on to the generous formal living room/dining room combination, and a family room with a free-standing woodburning stove.

This home was well loved and it shows. Set up as a warm haven after working out on your own five-acre parcel, you’ll appreciate all the little touches that make this it truly a home. As you come in from the back into the mudroom, you’ll find plenty of places to stash the boots, even a built in window seat with storage. The kitchen is well appointed with new(er) black appliances and loads of cabinets.

The master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet complete with loads of wire shelves & storage units, and a five-piece bath with tiled double-sink vanity and soaking tub. The 2nd bedroom is just off the family room and also has private access to the 2nd full bathroom.

Outside are five fenced and cross-fenced, hot-wired acres plus two shops, RV-size carport, barn with hayloft, 2-horse (only one stall) loafing shed, well house, a fish pond, your own private well and septic system.

Barn measures 42′ x 50′
