3 BEDROOM HOME IN FIRCREST
Enjoy easy & peaceful living in this well-maintained Fircrest rambler. Large covered deck is a great place to host friends this Fall. When the weather turns, cozy up by the gas fireplace in the spacious living room. Big picture windows overlook a private backyard, lush with native plants and ferns. The front yard was curated by a Master Gardener and is full of natural pollinators and seasonal blooms. Roof, furnace, main bathroom & water heater were all updated in the past 5 years.
FROM THE SELLER
A little from the sellers about the location, and what they’ll miss about the neighborhood -
“In the 15 years I lived in the house I transformed the front yard into a pollinator habitat. All summer something is in bloom attracting bumblebees and hummingbirds. Two birdhouses have chickadee tenants every year. The backyard is full of native shrubs, huckleberries, red flowering currant and two snags that flickers and nuthatches make nests in. Towhees nest in the salal and song sparrows sing through the summer. The waterfall attracts many birds and drowns out the sounds of traffic and neighbors creating a private refuge. The house is well insulated and is cool when it is warm outside. I love cooking and baking in the kitchen and it has a ton of storage.”
“This is a great neighborhood with an annual block party. It’s close to grocery stores, freeway access, medical offices and Fircrest has a great park system for families, from the tot lot to the swimming pool, both within walking distance.”
“When dining out, Royal Thai and Pint Defiance are close by on Mildred and there is a Trader Joe’s at 40th and Bridgeport. A nice little nursery is Willow Tree on 27th which has unusual plants and heirloom tomatoes. Nearby is the Adriana Hess Wetland/Tahoma Audubon Center.”
“As a master gardener, I added many native plants to the yard. In the backyard are most native shrubs, red flowering currant, oceanspray, Indian plum, red and black huckleberries, Pacific ninebark, tall Oregon grape, creeping Oregon grape. In the front yard is a spring bulb garden and many flowers to attract bumblebees and hummingbirds. Our neighborhood is friendly and has held an annual block party for over 5 years.”
