Mid-century Rambler | 3 Bedroom Home in Lakewood
first impressions
Winding roads lined with mature trees lead from Sunnyside Beach and the Steilacoom waterfront to the edge of the Steilacoom/Lakewood boarder and a corner lot with a sweet, mid-century rambler. The lot, just shy of a quarter of an acre, holds goregous evergreens and old growth rhodadendrons. A covered back patio provides the perfect spot to enjoy the privacy of the fully fenced yard while keeping cozy and dry. It’s a quiet spot where neighbors wave to each other as they go about their day and city amenities seem distant but are incredibly close.
about the home
There’s something special about mid-century design, and this home preserves the best of it with a stone fireplace and mid-century cabinets and interior doors. The home holds new features and modern upgrades, but history and style draw the eye first.
Inside, an impressive living room, centered around the hearth extends from a roomy entry with space for an additional conversation area, home office, or library. Head to the left and up one step to enter a secondary living space that could be left open as a TV room, library, or formal dining room or enclosed to create a private home office or a fourth bedroom. Beyond that lies the eat-in kitchen and a bright hallway opening to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. All three bedrooms showcase original oak hardwoods and solid closet space.
A new roof was installed in 2014. In 2022, all of the windows and the sliding glass door were replaced, a new vapor barrier and insulation were added to the crawl space under the home, and new siding was placed on the front of the home. Just prior to listing, a new shower surround was installed as routine maintenance was performed to prepare the home for a new owner. It really is a loving home and the perfect showcase for the quality of the past combined with modern upgrades.

It’s about four miles to North Fort JBLM and about six miles to Main Post JBLM.
looking for a fun day in the area
Start it out right by swinging through Original House of Donuts for an oversized raised donut and hot coffee. They have a variety of options, but it’s hard to beat their classic glazed masterpiece. For an active day, burn calories with a trip to Chambers Bay Golf Club (along the water and with stunning views of the Puget Sound). If you have a dog tagging along, both Chambers Bay and Fort Steilacoom Park include off-leash dog parks where they can romp to their heart’s content. For a relaxing day, skip the activities and head strait to Sea Spa to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Puget Sound while treating yourself to a massage, pedicure, facial, or any number of their spa services. With morning concluded, head to Topside Bar & Grill for lunch followed by a quick stop in NORSE & SEA to pick up a gift for a loved one. During the warm months ingredients for dinner can be purchased at either the Steilacoom or Lakewood farmer’s market. During the cool, rainy months, there are several grocery stores within 6 miles, and Lakewood Towne Center holds shops and restaurants of all varieties.
