This tri-level mid-century home is on the market for the first time since the 1960s! Tucked away in a quiet, established Lakewood neighborhood and in a park-like setting, this timeless gem is absolutely brimming with possibility. While this 1,677-square-foot home is move-in ready, you’ll also find plenty of opportunity for re-imagining each space, whether you choose to embark on remodel projects or simply do a few updates here and there. In addition to inviting living spaces, this home includes 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. This residence is also poised for summertime perfection—situated on a huge fenced lot, the gorgeous, secluded backyard is especially not to miss! Located at 6016 Nyanza Park Drive SW Lakewood, WA 98499 and merely minutes to JBLM, I-5, schools, shopping, dining, parks, Lakewood Station and more, this mid-century home is listed for $453,000.
Lush, mature landscaping and an extra-large driveway greet you when you arrive home, and as soon as you step inside, this home’s layout effortlessly unfolds into the large living room. Stunning floor-to-ceiling windows rest alongside a classic stone-accented fireplace, and hardwood awaits under the carpet! (In fact, you’ll find hardwoods under all of the carpet, except for on the lower level of the home.)
The adjacent dining room is nestled right in between the kitchen and French doors that lead out onto the covered patio; head outside for easy outdoor dining when the weather warms up! The kitchen shows off an efficient layout where everything you need is within reach, and vintage elements can be embraced or re-envisioned in the future! A breakfast nook shows off a cozy spot for sipping your morning cup of coffee while enjoying views into the scenic backyard.
On the upper level you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and on the lower level, discover even more versatility. A lower level family room with a fireplace awaits transformation, and there’s also laundry amenities and an attached spacious 1-car garage for your convenience. The garage has plenty of built-in storage options, and you’ll find space for projects here as well. Additionally, this home includes a roof that’s about 3 years old, a newer gas furnace, and 2 solar tubes.
In the backyard, a hill that shows off quintessential Pacific Northwest greenery offers a lovely, tranquil view along with a sense of seclusion. Refresh the patio this summer to create the outdoor retreat you’ve been dreaming about! Around the side of the home, a covered patio provides the same potential—entertain, relax, and enjoy the perks of having your living space expanded out into the rejuvenating fresh air.
