Generous Mid-Century Gem in Fircrest

Kelli Jo Hjalseth • May 5, 2026

Showcasing classic mid-century design and offering an expansive 2,804-square-foot layout, this updated Fircrest home offers enviable flexibility. Easy main level living has everything you need, while the finished lower level presents the opportunity for even more living space, multi-generational living, a guest suite for extended stays, or could become an income-producing rental. The big backyard getaway promises plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, and play, too—the sky’s the limit from the inside out! Located at 1045 Sunrise Lane Fircrest, WA 98466 and less than 5 minutes to the popular community center, golf, grocery shopping, dining, and so much more, this Fircrest mid-century home is listed for $755,000. 

 Modern updates meet mid-century vibes, and this 1962-built home shows off quintessential design elements that this era of home is known so well for. The statement fireplace is at the center of it all, and from here, this home’s welcoming atmosphere seamlessly unfolds. Discover new LVP, furnace/heat pump, mini split, upscale lighting, and more, all promising top-notch functionality in the day to day. 

Created with entertaining in mind, the living room is ready for festive get-togethers and has the space to host a crowd! Sunlight pours in through large windows on both sides of the room, letting it feel even larger—bring your own design sensibilities and create your dream haven here. With a fireplace and eye-catching light fixture, the dining area is a lovely setting for entertaining, and the pristine, bright kitchen nods to this home’s 1960s origins. The cabinetry features rich wood elements, and substantial counter space provides excellent efficiency. Style meets practicality! 

The main level also includes a primary suite complete with a new ¾ bath, replete with chic modern character. Refreshed and sparkling with on-trend details, wellness routines are a total joy here. Find a cohesive look in the new full bath as well, and discover even more flexibility in 2 ample sized bedrooms on the main level. 

Downstairs, a whole other world of potential beckons. A comfortable family room with a fireplace offers access to the yard and patio, and even more square footage can be utilized in the rec room. Set up a pool table, a home gym, or a play room here, and find potential for hobbies, an entertainment center, and more. The lower level also includes a 4th bedroom, a spacious and refreshed bath, an office and storage, laundry amenities (the extra-fancy washer and dryer stay!), and this lower level getaway is plumbed for a 2nd kitchen. Make the most of this floor plan and embrace multi-generational living, rent out the downstairs, or enjoy having a dedicated part of the home for guests. Additionally, the oversized garage offers space for storage, parking, and projects. 

From the large front yard to the backyard retreat, the sprawling lawn is a backdrop for years of making memories. Host outdoor gatherings on the back deck that overlooks the yard, and find space for lawn games and playing fetch with your pup.
