About this home

Perched above Puget Sound, this Spanish-style home captures sweeping 180-degree water views stretching from the Tacoma Narrows to Nisqually Reach, with the Olympic Mountains creating an unforgettable backdrop. Bring your vision & unlock the true potential of this University Place home! With 3,874 sqft of finished living space, some TLC & a tool belt will reimagine this home into something special. The main level features 2 spacious living areas, dining room & kitchen, all oriented toward the spectacular views, with access to a deck that spans the entire length of the home—an incredible setting for entertaining, morning coffee or watching gorgeous sunsets over the Sound. Upstairs offers a primary suite with private full bath and deck access, an additional bedroom, plus a flexible room ideal for an office, nursery or additional bedroom. The finished lower level adds a wide-open versatile space, large storage room and ¾ bath. A 5-year-old heat pump with air filtration system, two hot water tanks, 2x12 framing with superior insulation, a tile roof & stucco exterior provide a solid foundation for your updates. Outside, you'll appreciate the stairs down to a level lawn area, cherry & apple trees, and extra parking.
