Brimming with character and custom details both inside and out, this Monroe charmer presents a wonderful opportunity! From the living room to the dining room and kitchen, unique details are ready to be admired at every turn. And in addition to warm and welcoming living spaces, this home’s 1,417-square-foot layout includes 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Need more room to spread out? There’s even a detached extra finished space that’s currently used as a play area, but it would also make the perfect craft room or music studio! Additionally, one of this property’s top perks awaits with its outdoor setting; garden, entertain, play, and relax in style. This home even comes with a new electrical panel. Located at 432 W Maple Street Monroe, WA 98272 just blocks to local schools and less than 1 mile to shopping, dining, and other attractions, this home is listed for $521,000.

Showing off memorable curb appeal, this creatively curated retreat is a delight to arrive home to time and time again. Open up the gate, head to the front door, and as soon as you step inside, this residence envelops you in its light and bright atmosphere. In the front room, the flexible layout offers space for multiple sitting areas, and details like the bold black fireplace, stylish hearth, and shiplap-accented walls add dynamic visual intrigue.

Right around the corner you’ll find a spacious dining room with just as much character as the living area; from the ceiling to the floor, thoughtful details add instant charm. And in the adjacent kitchen, gorgeous wood elements are ready to impress. Wooden countertops, open shelving, and breakfast bar dining are all in the mix, and the laundry area is within reach so you can multitask; switch loads of laundry while dinner simmers on the stove. Effortless access to the backyard makes it easy to pop outside for dining out in the fresh air whenever the mood strikes, too.

While each bedroom offers a private haven for rest and rejuvenation, each bedroom also shows off its own personality and features. Discover closet space, beautiful wood elements, captivating color palettes, and plenty of opportunity to infuse your own unique style into each comfortable getaway. Need more room? A detached extra finished space is filled with opportunity; transform it into a home office, a music or art studio, a play area or craft room, or even an epic home gym!

In the backyard, a wonderland is at your fingertips. Host weekend BBQs and parties all summer long, and sunbathe while little ones burn off extra energy on the play structure. Lush garden beds are filled with shrubs and flowers, and to the side of the home, garden beds are ready to grow your favorite fruits and veggies. Move right in and let your imagination get to work!
