This property is a perfect example of an affordable home filled with extras that add personality and the feel of a much higher priced home.
From the outside, the curb appeal alone puts the house in a category of its own. Multiple finishing materials frame the entries and a picture window out front allows plenty of natural light to fill the living spaces inside.
Upon entering, a stately staircase separates the foyer from the kitchen and dining areas, providing the best combination of an open concept layout which also includes a gas fireplace. The kitchen is showcased by stainless steel appliances and a modern backsplash with just the right amount of neutral coloring. A peninsula island adds extra seating for entertaining purposes.
Upstairs, an owner’s suite with a walk-in closet awaits, while the other bedrooms offer custom window seats. The private backyard is fully fenced and the house is secured by an alarm system. All of these bonus elements add up to one bargain of a home price less than 10 miles from Joint Base Lewis-McChord
2) Spanaway, Washington
Normally, it’s difficult to find a move-in ready home at this price point, but this property has the benefits of neutral paint and hardwood floors, and yet has the custom details buyers desire, such as coffered ceilings, brick accents, and wood-wrapped windows. It’s the perfect combination of ease and comfort.
Adding to the list of ready-to-buy features is the five-piece master bathroom complete with tile backsplash. There’s no need to update the kitchen appliances either, because they already don the stainless steel finish that is in high demand.
A more than spacious, fully fenced backyard awaits to be used for more than one comfortable Pacific Northwest season. For extra storage, a shed is included with the purchase. The owner offers help with the closing costs if the sale doesn’t necessitate a real estate agent.
3) Yelm, Washington
With orders in hand to JBLM, do you dream about a little piece of Washington state heaven, complete with the iconic and gorgeous evergreens?
This rambler style home sits within a picturesque enclave of beauty that only this region can offer. In the back, an oh-so-charming sitting area beckons for morning coffee chats. The fully fenced backyard has a large deck within its perimeters.
Community outdoor living offers more perks with three lakes nearby, a locals-only store, pool, and plentiful walking and biking trails. All of these are conveniently located within a quiet, private, and gated community.
The interior of the home doesn’t lack amenities, however! Look inside:
- Bamboo flooring throughout
- Open kitchen with granite and stainless steel
- Main floor en suite master bedroom with sitting area
- Listed for under $250,000, it’s a must-see on your househunting trip.
