Boasting a great location, an amazing floor plan with upgrades that preserve its architectural integrity and 180-degree views of Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, this home offers something for everyone.

The two-story home on a well landscaped, 0.37-acre corner lot in the Rucker Hill community features great curb appeal, as well as easy access to I-5. Built in 1915, the two-owner home has been remodeled with nearly every imaginable modern convenience, while preserving the original oak floors, mill work, doors, lighting fixtures and hardware.

The home has a spacious, flowing floor plan with a formal living room with a fireplace on one side of the entry and a formal dining room on the other.

The main floor also features a sizable family room lined with view windows and a handsome den that accesses a private Trex deck with a hot tub.

The gourmet kitchen has cherry cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a stylish backsplash, a large granite slab island with bar stool seating and high-end appliances, including a built-in dishwasher, over-sized refrigerator and double convection ovens. A bright casual dining area has spectacular views.

There are four bedrooms on the second floor, including an expansive master suite with a fireplace, two walk-in closets, a deck, and a private bath with a dual-sink vanity, glass double-headed shower and a large corner jetted tub with an attractive surround that allows homeowners to relax and take in the water and mountan views.

The home also has a finished lower level with a large rec room and well-equipped laundry room.

Additional features include a security system, wet bar and in-floor heating. There’s an oversized, two-car garage with a large workshop area, an exercise nook and additional storage space.

Exterior features include mature landscaping, a sprinkler system and plumbing for an outdoor barbecue area.
