Look up from the street to this 1926 Arts and Crafts style home with the period front porch and bright center door and it seems to be smiling back at you like in the picture book stories! What a little gem in the heart of the Historic District in the City of Mount Rainier. Summers last longer on the old fashioned porch with room for many chairs and plants. Bamboo wood floors greet you in the entrance hall and living/dining rooms. Main level bedrooms and bathroom are a good size. The recent thermal windows introduce good natural light for your enjoyment while improving heating efficiency. Enjoy an upgraded kitchen with stainless appliances including a gas stove with a center griddle. The kitchen is bright with windows over the sink and to the rear yard. A separate laundry/mudroom off the kitchen has a high-efficiency front loading washer/dryer - a handy place to come home to in a muddy mess! Upstairs a huge bedroom with a soaring ceiling that has the space to add a bathroom when the time is ready. The fenced south-west facing back yard offers plenty of room for gardeners and wanna be's to create a private delight of flowers and vegetables with a large amount of sunshine enjoyed. Storage space is no problem with a large unfinished basement and it evens has a convenient side entrance off of the driveway. A one-year Cinch Home Warranty with a $100 deductible conveys to the buyer at closing. It offers small-town appeal in an urban setting that is a short ride away from Capitol Hill and the White House. Local Citizens happily join in the revitalization taking place around the City and the active engagement that promotes local pride there.
