21304 5th Avenue S

Soak in sweeping views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier from both levels of this quintessential mid-century home! A spacious layout flows seamlessly from the slate entry to the oversized living room, where a stone fireplace and big windows frame the views and the formal dining room with charming bay windows — all warmed underfoot by original hardwoods throughout the main floor. The eat-in kitchen offers a fantastic footprint for entertaining and prepping alike. Step outside to the deck, the perfect perch for al fresco dining, morning coffee, and soaking in the views. Three bedrooms round out the main floor, including a view-filled potential primary and a large bath with a soaking tub. Downstairs is where the fun happens: an oversized rec room with a fireplace and sliders to the outdoors, a sunny laundry room with a new washer/dryer, and another big bedroom and bath — ideal for guests, multigenerational living, and more. Two huge unfinished storage rooms offer room for everything, with potential for future finished space, while multiple outbuildings are ready for tinkering, garden tools, and projects. Fresh paint inside and out, a new roof with transferable warranty, and new fixtures means the hard part is done; just move in! Outside, sprawling grounds are a gardener's dream: winding paths, rose gardens, mature plantings, and fruit trees. Minutes from Des Moines, with great eats, the marina, summer concerts, and farmers market, plus easy access to freeways and the airport.
