Property Description

rare opportunity for that unique individual who says I want home by a babbling creek with fish and wildlife to enjoy. A bridge to a barn and gardening space. Lots of space to run and play with peace and quiet surrounding me. This well-cared for 2 story home with the primary on the main floor awaits your personal touches to make yours. Real cedar siding wraps this home and separate oversized 2 car garage. You must see this picturesque setting to believe it exists in University Place. Driving in you pass the orchard that is abundant with all kinds of fruit varieties, there are several separate designated garden areas, trees and plenty of parking.
