The 1,654-square-foot layout offers an inviting backdrop for all that life brings your way, and in addition to 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, discover generous living areas alongside a stunning kitchen. Lovely and low-maintenance outdoor space awaits as well, along with a pristine 2-car garage that promises convenience. Located at 4605 73rd Avenue Ct W University Place, WA 98466 and right down the street from Bridgeport Way, this University Place home is listed for $599,950. 

Radiating comfort and warmth, this dialed-in beauty has not only been gently lived in over the years, but several smart updates ensure you can move right in. Extra care has been given to this home’s design: Large windows along with 9 skylights ensure this gem is filled with cheerful, rejuvenating natural light. Numerous upgrades have been made to fixtures, lighting, and window coverings throughout, and another highlight includes the abundance of storage and organized closets. This UP home checks all of the boxes! 

In the open-concept living and dining room, a free-standing gas stove at the center of it all promises cozy fall evenings and everyday comfort. Gather with loved ones in the dining area and catch up after a long day, and afterwards, kick back, relax, and unwind in the living area. Another generous dining space awaits by the kitchen, and this impeccably curated space is a true masterpiece! Precision custom cabinets, Corian tops, Marmoleum floors, unique storage solutions, and beautifully maintained appliances offer ease and efficiency day in and day out. Modern function meets timeless style! 

One of this home’s top benefits include all of the flexibility that can be enjoyed with a total of 4 bedrooms. If you have extra space, you can finally create the home office, hobby room, or gym you’ve always wanted. And even more versatility beckons from the spotless 2-car garage that includes a Bosch washer and dryer. 

In the backyard, a sprawling deck is ready to be transformed into your private getaway. Set up comfy outdoor furniture for hosting and lounging out in the fresh air, and have fun decorating the space. There’s also plenty of opportunity for gardening—create lovely flower arrangements to enjoy in flower pots or even build raised garden beds. No matter what your plans for the future are, you can move right into this well-maintained and refreshed beauty and begin your next chapter from day 1!
