Privately sited on an elevated three-quarter-acre lot, this Craftsman rambler offers the perfect balance of serenity and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees, the home feels tucked away, yet is just minutes to shopping, transit, and Interstate Five. A desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with the primary suite and office/den separated from the additional bedrooms. Designed for effortless living and entertaining, the open kitchen and dining space flow seamlessly to expansive covered decks, over eight hundred square feet total, complete with a built-in propane barbecue connected to an underground tank and a wood fire pit. Warm cherry hardwoods and rich slate floors enhance the thoughtfully appointed interior, featuring built-in storage and high-end appliances. Enjoy a large usable yard with direct access to nearby trails leading to the Thurston County Fairgrounds and Long Lake Park. A three-car garage, private wooded setting, and proximity to amenities make this exceptional rambler a rare find.
