Take a moment to learn more about a few of this home’s top highlights:
1. Carefully maintained and thoughtfully updated; move right in without worrying about a thing!
From the moment you pull in the driveway, this home makes a lasting first impression, and the grand exterior hints at the love and care that has been put into maintaining and updating this beauty. For example, the furnace and heat pump were serviced in August 2021 (records available upon request). The roof was replaced 10 years ago, and the walkways and stairs have been re-leveled with a transferable “forever warranty” from Matvey foundations.
2. The well-appointed kitchen is ready to help you tackle meal prep, baking marathons, and daily tasks with ease.
In the large entertainer’s kitchen, you’ll find ample storage in handsome cabinetry, built-in Lazy Susan corner cabinets, large pull-out shelves, a custom-made stove cover, a natural gas downdraft stove and griddle, and more. Plus, all appliances stay! The kitchen seamlessly opens up into a dining area and a large living room, and this inviting great room is sure to become the heart of the home.
3. Impeccable formal spaces are a host’s dream.
This home was designed with entertaining in mind, and both a formal living room and formal dining room show off simple sophistication. In the formal living room, stunning vaulted ceilings and impressive shimmering windows let the space feel large and airy, and you’ll find the same captivating window design in the formal dining room. In the dining room, stylish wainscoting delights the eye, and you can have fun curating your own aesthetic here once you move in!
4. Sumptuous master suite offers the ideal setting for rest and relaxation.
The master suite shows off an extra-large bedroom layout, and your living space here expands even more thanks to private deck access; pop outside just before bed to take in the fresh air, or enjoy your coffee on the deck before starting your day. A huge walk-in closet features cubbies, drawers, and shelving, and the 5-piece ensuite bath boasts a spa-like setting with its dual sinks, separate shower, and jetted tub. The master bath is also drenched in sunlight—a skylight and porthole-style windows above the tub are all in the mix!
5. Lots of versatile space for you to transform as your needs change over time.
One of this home’s major perks awaits with its flexible square footage. Of course, you’ll find endless possibilities if you have an extra bedroom (or 2 or 3!), and the 4th bedroom has a custom built-in executive desk with a bookshelf, tons of storage, and file drawers. It’s ready to become the ultimate home office!
Even more space can be found in the oversized 3-car garage, which is deep and wide enough for 3 full-sized King Cab trucks and includes a large workbench. In addition to using the garage for storage, you’ll also find plenty of storage throughout the house and in the lighted and fully waterproofed walk-in/stand-up crawlspace under the house. Never worry about where to store your outdoor furniture, holiday decor, bikes, or kayaks again!
6. Park-like, landscaped outdoor spaces let you enjoy nature without having to leave the comfort of home.
Situated on 0.42 acres, this parcel is the largest in the neighborhood. The property was originally 2 lots which were combined for tax purposes; the current parcel could be subdivided (buyer to verify). Established landscaping throughout is professionally maintained (landscaper referral available on request!), and the mature greenery offers both privacy and an idyllic view. Kick back and relax on the expansive composite deck, and grill up dinner whenever the mood strikes (there’s even natural gas hookups for a grill). Your very own Pacific Northwest oasis awaits!

Growth and Embracing Change
As I walked out of our offices on 19th St in Tacoma on Wednesday, I knew it would never be the same and I was overwhelmed with Sadness. 15 year ago, I arrived on Jan 6, 2005, fresh from Real Estate School, embracing change in a place I had lived 6 mos. And believing in my abilities to adapt and grow. I walked into these offices and LOVED the space and the uniqueness of our offices. Our clients loved them and commented on them a lot. I found a place to call my own by the window and surrounded by successful agents…Brent Tornquist on my right. Jim Tutton in front of me and Matt and Tom Hume on my left. Jeff Jensen had the corner office and his door was open. So I listened and learned the lingo and had great mentors to ask questions of. I kept a list of phone numbers…Kevin Mullin, Michael Robinson, Tom Hume and when I was writing an offer at 10pm at night, I knew where to get my questions answered and I wasn’t afraid to ask any ol’ dumb question. I knew I had a home and a great support team. Over the years, Jeff moved on to another company, Tom and Matt joined with David Gala and moved downstairs, Jim Tutton went on to a moving company which we all refer business to and Me and Brent held down the fort through all the many changes…but they left me in my space with the sun on my back and overhead light that was always on even when all the lights were out. I could quietly work at night.
2020 has been full of change for me. My son Scott, my right hand, passed on in February. He loved to go with me and did open houses with me and put out my signs, turned on and off lights and generally was my partner without his license. And my loved MIL Jean passed on in December. I will miss her quiet and constant support. I will go to CA occasionally but am looking forward to a vacation that doesn’t include driving to CA. My friends and my son Brian and his spouse Charline have kept me going and I love them so much. They have held my hand and grieved with me and allowed me to talk about it. Very important.
2021 brought more change for the positive in my new partnership with Jason Helton from my office. He has been working with me for almost 3 years and now we have made it official. Jason is so warm and cuddly, but sharp as a tack. And together we are off to a great start for 2021.
Change can be scary, and it can be invigorating. We all must embrace it. Writing my gratitude’s helps me greatly to realize all I must be grateful for even through the losses. So when we come back to the new office in a few weeks, I will be sharing a desk. And that means I have to keep it all tidy. Hmmm. I always know where everything is but it will be a challenge. And I will be working from home in a space I have created that is all my own. I will embrace the changes and the growth and look forward to a great year.
