Built in 1965 and showcasing vintage style and smart modern upgrades (like updated windows!), this timeless treasure is ready for a new chapter. In addition to 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, you’ll find inviting spaces where years of cherished memories are sure to be made. And just wait until you see the picturesque backyard—lush landscaping and established greenery ensure you have your very own outdoor retreat! Located at 10202 89th Ave SW, Lakewood WA 98498 and merely minutes to parks, lakes, shopping, transit and more, this residence is listed for $450,000.

Quintessential Pacific Northwest charm is waiting for you as soon as you pull in the extra-large driveway. From the gorgeous green lawn and the towering evergreens that frame the property to the classic rambler design that promises ease and elegance, this Lakewood home-sweet-home is poised to delight. In the living room you’ll find an attractive blend of large windows, rich wood elements including hardwood floors, and a fireplace at the center of it all. And in the giant family room, even more warm and welcoming space for relaxation alongside a fireplace awaits.

The kitchen is in the heart of it all, and this haven of convenience boasts a huge layout with room for everything you need. Those who love to cook elaborate meals from scratch or have baking marathons are sure to find the space to make it all happen thanks to generous storage and huge quartz counters to spread out on. Bar-style seating is perfect for casual meals, while a formal dining room elevates any dining experience. From here, sliding glass doors lead right outside so you can enjoy al fresco dining whenever the mood strikes!

3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths include a spacious master suite that offers built-in closet space and an ensuite bath, while the additional bedrooms promise versatility in use. Laundry amenities rest alongside abundant storage for household essentials—everything you could need is wonderfully within reach.

A whole other world of possibility can be found in the backyard oasis, and under the covered patio you can entertain and unwind in the hot tub rain or shine! From the patio you can admire the view of the manicured grounds, and raised garden beds offer space to cultivate fresh fruits and veggies.
