You Can See For Miles Up Here!

This nifty re-do has been tastefully fancied up for pleasant days on the market. Positioned midway down a steep hill on Morgan St., about 2 long blocks from Rainier, this 1920s bungalow is spacious and has a generous lot. The main floor and finished basement (with comfortable ceiling height) have a total of 4 bedrooms and 2.75 baths.

The most apparent quality from walking around the property is the abundance of fresh air, light and hilltop views. Both the front and the back of the house have new, small pressure-treated wood porches (doesn’t that orange color drive you nuts?), which could be easily dismantled and replaced with larger decks for maximizing the outdoor sight lines. To whet the appetite even more, there are no houses directly across from the property. But, there is a newly constructed blacktop road, which on closer inspection, leads back into the hillside to several recently cleared plots, primed and wired for new building. The proximity of the development won’t impact this property tremendously, but it’s always wise to consider whether the slumbering giant across the street is going to be friendly or really noisy. Or, just increase property values!
