🌲 1.7 ACRES. BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED. INCREDIBLE KITCHEN. 🌲
If privacy and space are high on the wish list, this one deserves some attention.
Tucked into approximately 1.7 peaceful, wooded acres, this beautifully renovated 2,507± sq. ft. home feels like a private retreat while offering the modern updates buyers are looking for.
And when we say updated… we mean UPDATED. 🙌
🏡 New roof & siding
🔥 New furnace + newer water heater
🎨 Fresh interior & exterior paint
✨ New carpet & vinyl throughout
🪵 Refinished hardwood floors
🔨 Remediated crawlspace
Inside, the home offers TWO separate living areas, including a cozy family room centered around a wood-burning fireplace—the kind of space made for rainy Northwest evenings.
But the kitchen might steal the show. 👀
Designed for someone who genuinely loves to cook and entertain, it features an oversized island with TWO refrigerated drawers and a microwave drawer, a warming drawer beneath the double oven, tons of workspace, modern finishes, and a breakfast nook.
Add in a separate formal dining room and this home is ready for everything from quiet dinners to holiday gatherings.
Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features two closets, including a walk-in, while three additional rooms provide flexibility for bedrooms, a large home office, den, guest space, or whatever life calls for.
And when it’s time to unwind?
Step onto the spacious back deck, surrounded by trees, privacy, and the peaceful landscape of your own 1.7-acre retreat. 🌲
This is one of those properties that gives you something increasingly difficult to find:
✨ Privacy
✨ Acreage
✨ Major updates already completed
✨ Room to entertain
✨ A truly incredible kitchen
✨ Move-in-ready living
Sometimes home isn’t about being closer to everything.
Sometimes it’s about having a little more space from everything. ❤️🏡

There are few places in the country where you can start the morning with a walk through towering evergreens, spend the afternoon on the water, and end the evening watching the sun set behind the Olympic Mountains. That’s what living in Washington, especially Thurston County can feel like.

Thurston County offers a lifestyle that’s hard to put a price on. From the waterfronts of Puget Sound and the miles of hiking trails to quiet neighborhoods, local farmers markets, and vibrant downtowns, it’s a place where nature and everyday life come together. Summer is when the area truly shines. Long daylight hours, comfortable temperatures, and endless opportunities to kayak, paddleboard, hike, golf, or simply relax outside make these some of the best months of the year to call home

Pricing isn’t just a number — it’s a strategy. And in today’s market, it matters more than ever.

With inventory up and buyers comparing more homes side‑by‑side, pricing has become one of the most powerful tools a seller has. The right price increases visibility, drives traffic, and positions your home competitively from day one.

Overpricing, even slightly, can reduce showings, limit online exposure, and weaken your negotiating position.
Correct pricing, on the other hand, creates momentum.

A strong pricing strategy considers:
• current inventory
• buyer behavior
• search‑bracket psychology
• condition and presentation
• neighborhood trends

When your home is priced with intention, it stands out — and it sells stronger.

In a shifting market, experience isn’t just helpful — it creates stability.

With inventory rising and buyer behavior evolving, the real advantage today comes from working with someone who has navigated multiple market cycles. Experience brings pattern recognition, calm decision‑making, and the ability to anticipate challenges before they appear.

Experienced agents understand how pricing, preparation, negotiation, and timing work together. They know what buyers respond to, what they overlook, and what truly influences value.

In a market where conditions can change quickly, stability matters.
And stability comes from seasoned guidance.

When you work with a team that’s been through every type of market, you make decisions with clarity, confidence, and long‑term perspective — not pressure.

If you’re thinking about selling, here’s the quickest way to refresh your home: paint.

Right now, buyers are gravitating toward calm, natural colors that create a sense of warmth, quality, and stability.

The most in‑demand shades include:
• Earth tones
• Soft greens like sage
• Classic blues and whites

These colors help a home feel grounded, inviting, and move‑in ready.

What’s out?
Feature walls and bold accent colors.

And here in the Pacific Northwest, keep your ceilings white — it opens the space and reflects more natural light, which buyers love.

A fresh, natural palette helps buyers focus on what truly matters:
the layout, the light, and the flow of the home.

And that’s what sells.

Before you spend money on upgrades, here’s what buyers are actually caring about.

One of the biggest questions sellers ask is whether they should invest in upgrades or focus on maintenance. And the truth is, in today’s market, maintenance matters more.

Buyers want stability.
They want to know the systems have been cared for — the roof, HVAC, plumbing, windows — the things that build trust and signal long‑term reliability.

Upgrades can be nice, but they don’t replace basic upkeep. A well‑maintained home feels solid, dependable, and move‑in ready, and that feeling carries more weight than cosmetic improvements.

So before you think about big renovations, start with the essentials.
It makes a bigger impact than most sellers realize.

People often ask how long I’ve been in real estate — but the real answer starts long before I became a Realtor.

My journey in the housing industry began in 1982. Before becoming a Realtor, I spent over 25 years as a mortgage banker, working in financing, underwriting, new construction, and all the moving parts that make a transaction successful.

That background gives me a full‑picture understanding of inspections, appraisals, title work, lending, and everything in between. It allows me to guide clients with clarity because I’ve seen every side of the process — and I know how to help them move through it with confidence.

My goal has always been the same:
to guide clients through the housing journey with clarity, stability, and confidence.

Home is where you make it — and I’m here to help you get there.

Here’s what I love most about helping clients buy and sell homes.

I grew up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I love helping people find their place in it — whether it’s a first home, a move‑up home, or a fresh start. There’s something meaningful about watching someone step into the next chapter of their life, and being able to guide them through that moment is a privilege.

My approach is detail‑oriented and client‑centered. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and help clients understand each step so they feel steady and supported throughout the process.

Real estate is more than a transaction.
It’s a major life moment — and I’m here to help you feel confident, informed, and cared for from beginning to end.
