Thoughtfully updated and boasting a sprawling 3,848-square-foot layout, this Fircrest treasure is “forever home” material! Built in 1930, this timeless gem still shows off captivating vintage elements while featuring modern amenities and fresh finishes at every turn. In addition to the light-filled interior, this property’s private backyard oasis includes a huge deck that’s ideal for entertaining. Located at 120 Farallone Fircrest, WA 98466 and wonderfully close to parks, commuting options, shopping, restaurants and more, this 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath residence is listed for $450,000.
A charming path leads to this home’s welcoming front porch, and the eye-catching exterior and neat, mature landscaping that frames this home are just a preview of the impressive spaces that await inside! The formal living room immediately welcomes you in, and you can cozy up by the fireplace and relax while you catch up on your favorite TV shows. When you first enter the home you’ll also find another space to your right, which offers flexible square footage and beautifully crafted wall-to-wall built-ins that make it easy to stay organized and show off decor and keepsakes.
The huge, open kitchen is an entertainer’s dream with its sprawling layout, sleek appliances, generous cabinetry, and large counters. A center island offers a laid-back seating option, and large windows provide views into the scenic backyard. Not only does the kitchen promise top-notch efficiency, but it’s a beautiful spot to hangout in with friends and family while you wait for dinner to simmer! A formal dining area offers even more entertaining potential—here, rejuvenating natural light pours in through large windows, bathing the scene in inviting warmth. Holiday feasts and special occasions are all right at home!
The main level includes an additional room that could easily be used as a bedroom, office, studio, etc., and upstairs you’ll find 3 spacious, comfortable bedrooms that offer loved ones a private retreat. This home’s baths are also especially notable—both have been thoughtfully updated with contemporary finishes and stylish details (in the full bath you’ll find a classic clawfoot bathtub and a shower with gorgeous tile accents!). If you need more space, you’ll find ample potential in the unfinished basement—keep things simple and just use it as storage, or make your unique vision come to life in the dynamic space.
In the storybook backyard, tall emerald trees surround the property providing shade and a sense of seclusion. Enjoy the tranquil view from the giant deck, which just expands your space for entertaining. There’s ample room for cute outdoor dining sets and comfy outdoor couches here, and you can enjoy weekend barbecues and al fresco dining whenever the sun comes out! There’s also a lovely patio off to the side, and plenty of room to put your green thumb to work if you enjoy gardening.
