About This Property
(253) 414-1977 - Seeing doubles--two houses in one! Welcome to Lakewood and the Tillicum neighborhood! Tillicum is an area renowned for its access to lakes and trails, not to mention being mere minutes from I5 and JBLM! As the last exit before the main gate (southbound), it’s the final frontier before the boundaries of JBLM. This single family home had been remodeled and partitioned into two units, with doubles of nearly everything—two houses for the price of one! You’ve got to see it to believe it. The downstairs level is part one, entered by the front door. Nice carpet and neutrual painted tan walls stretch along the front living room. A wood stove is a great additional heat source, and a large bay window with tile seat/sill peers out on to the front yard and street. The dining room sits under a modern ceiling fan, and flows into the recently remodeled kitchen. The galley-style kitchen has gorgeous dark cabinets set off by a full wall tile backsplash on both sides. Newer appliances (built-in microwave, dishwasher, oven/range, fridge) let you have everything within reaching distance. Through the doorway is the laundry room (also where the fridge sits) with a commercial washer and dryer and cabinets. The two bedrooms in the main house have also been freshly painted, and both have ceiling fans and wire shelving units in the closets. The main bedroom actually has TWO ceiling fans to compensate for its length. What a find! The main bath is classically styled with a shower/tub combo and tri-panel mirrored cabinet above the vanity. Out the back door is a large covered patio, and here is where part 2 has its entrance. A separate screen door and front door open to the combination kitchen and living room with hardwood laminate flooring. Here you have your doubles: fridge, oven/range, and built-in microwave. Lighter cabinetry here looks fantastic against the same tile backsplash. A door with decorative glass leads to the staircase, and another double: the washer and dryer. Up the stairs is the upper level, with new carpet. Multiple skylights provide light and ambiance in the large upper living room, and the second bedroom has a vaulted ceiling. The second full bath also has a shower/tub combo with plastic surround for easy upkeep. A window A/C unit has been provided by the homeowner. The outside is just as amazing as the inside. The fully fenced quarter acre lot is your playfield. And this is truly fully fenced, not just the backyard—a lockable gate slides across the driveway for complete privacy and security. Park in the one car garage, or in the side yard. The expansive back yard has attractive trees and shrubs, culminating in a patio centered around a mossy tree, probably around since the beginning of Tillicum. Either here or under the covered portion, Pacific Northwest evenings can be enjoyed to their full extent. Upstairs and down, inside and out, this is a home you have to see to truly appreciate.
