Seller’s Comments
Coffee shop of choice: As a self-diagnosed coffee addict, I frequent many of the local coffee shops in the neighborhood. My favorite is the Dash Point Starbucks, a 3 minute drive away. This Starbucks has a large, cozy seating area for lazy days or a very convenient drive-thru for most every other day. The coffee shop is located in the parking lot of the Dash Point Metropolitan Market, allowing for quick stops in for gourmet groceries and beautiful flowers to adorn our table.
Favorite places to go: In the summertime, we pack up the family and enjoy days on the beach at Dash Point State Park. When the weather isn’t cooperating, swim lessons at the Aquatic center or shopping in downtown Tacoma provide us with many fun activities.
Favorite restaurants in the area: We love to gorge ourselves at Salty’s Sunday brunch. Salty’s is conveniently located on the Redondo pier, allowing us to burn off brunch with a walk down the beautiful waterfront boardwalk afterwards. For a more intimate, romantic setting, we love the Lobster Shop at Dash Point or the Cliffhouse Restaurant overlooking the Port of Tacoma.
Best features of the home: The location is definitely one of the best features of our home. On this very private lot, from any room in the house you can take in the blue skies and territorial views. Unlike new construction, this home is well-spaced between neighbors and backs up to a beautiful ivy-covered hill. The spacious master bedroom has a large balcony over-looking nearby Treasure Island Park on Lake Lorene. The large downstairs bonus room is a nice retreat for late-night movies or game night with friends.
Favorite rooms: The living room and dining room make a perfect entertaining space. Cozy up to the fire and enjoy the view out the front windows or take the party out to the back deck and enjoy warm summer nights in the privacy of the secluded yard.
Any remodeling since last purchase?: Yes! All common areas have fresh paint, contemporary lighting fixtures, and new baseboard trim. The main bathroom has a new laminate wood floor, updated cabinetry, fixtures and counter top. Kitchen has a new laminate wood floor, updated cabinetry and newer appliances. Living and dining room feature a custom-made wood mantel and beautiful crown molding.
Most romantic spot: Spend some quiet time at Treasure Island Park watching the ducks on the lake or simply taking in the scenery. Situated between the “Twin Lakes,” the park is encircled with a paved path great for romantic sunset strolls or daily exercise.
What’s in the neighborhood: Twin Lakes is surrounded by shopping, restaurants and a multitude of neighborhood and state parks. We’re a three minute drive from stores, such as Metropolitan Market, Fred Meyer, Walgreens and QFC, just to name a few. There are also quite a few take-out and dine-in restaurants nearby.
What I will miss the most: Twin Lakes! We love being so close to golf at the Twin Lake Golf Course and Country Club (we love it so much, we even got married there!). The neighborhood is safe and full of friendly neighbors. Just 40 minutes to Seattle and 5 minutes to the beach…it doesn’t get much better than that!
