Where life unfolds. Tucked away on 2.18+/- private acres yet just minutes from Tumwater, I-5, schools, shopping and everyday conveniences, this custom rambler feels worlds away without sacrificing day-to-day comforts. A flat, usable lot framed by mature trees opens to an expansive lawn where deer regularly wander through. Enjoy coffee on the covered front porch, evenings around the fire pit, BBQs on the back patio and a soak in the hot tub. Established raised garden beds and a charming chicken coop with chickens add to the lifestyle, plus a cleared area offers potential for a future shop. Inside, 9' ceilings, dramatic skylights, Brazilian acacia hardwood floors, knotty alder doors and trim, cherry cabinetry and striking granite create warmth and character throughout. The cook’s kitchen features a generous island and abundant counter space, while two spacious living areas offer room to gather. A split-bedroom layout creates privacy for the primary retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets and a 5-piece bath. Large windows frame beautiful views of the property. Single-story living, heat pump comfort and Tumwater School District complete the ideal balance of privacy, convenience and room to breathe. Here, life has room to slow down and spread out—plenty of space to play, gardens can grow, friends can gather, and quiet evenings can be spent under the trees. A place for long summer dinners, weekend projects, fresh eggs, changing seasons and the everyday moments that make a house feel like home.
