Set on a cul-de-sac in the University Place School District, it opens into tall, bright living spaces built for gatherings. A brick fireplace anchors the main room, and the kitchen flows straight into a window-lined family room. Sliders lead out to a covered deck overlooking a large, private backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own balcony, with three more bedrooms down the hall. The lower level adds a second kitchen, a bedroom, a living area, and a flexible room that could be a gym or studio. A new roof and new electrical panels mean less to worry about on move-in day.

From the listing: “Space to celebrate, room to recharge, and possibilities on every level!”
