Simmons Elementary, it is close to parks, shopping, the Tumwater Craft District, and commuter routes. The main floor features hardwood and cork flooring, a primary bedroom, office, laundry room with utility sink, and full bath with clawfoot tub. The spacious kitchen and dining area offer plenty of room to reimagine. Updates include a furnace and A/C in 2022 and water heater in 2020. A detached two-car garage with workshop space and unfinished basement add excellent storage.Reported minor settling of the house over the decades resulting in a +2" - -2" rise/lower of level over the perimeter of the house.
