About this home

Located in the highly desirable community of University Place, this mid-century 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath rambler offers comfortable living and an exceptional outdoor setting. Situated on an expansive 1/3-acre lot, the property is surrounded by mature landscaping featuring beautiful flowering shrubs, vibrant rose bushes, and established fruit trees that create a private garden-like atmosphere. Inside, the home is filled with natural light thanks to the large east-facing front windows, which welcome warm morning sunshine into the living spaces. The thoughtfully designed single-level floor plan offers both functionality and comfort, with spacious living areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The west-facing backyard serves as a peaceful retreat, framed by mature trees that provide privacy and shade throughout the day. A covered patio extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for quiet mornings with coffee, relaxing evenings watching the sunset, or year-round entertaining regardless of the weather. This property combines classic mid-century appeal with serene outdoor living. Conveniently located near local amenities, shopping, and State Route 16, this home offers easy access to destinations both north and south. Just minutes from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Interstate 5, commuting and travel throughout the region are both quick and convenient.
