When we first hunted for a home our primary objective was to find something within running and biking distance for both my husband and me for work. In addition, we hoped for a quaint neighborhood with nice trees and safe streets.
When we found this house we were first skeptical because it was a poorly maintained duplex with disgruntled tenants. Our real estate agent encouraged us to look beyond that and focus on the potential of the home. It was the perfect location: on a dead end street, walking distance to great shops and food, very close to work and it had a fabulous view.
We visited the house on a sunny afternoon, and Mt. Rainier was out! It was amazing. Unfortunately, the house had no windows on that side of the house. So, for the past 4 years, we were not able to take advantage of the view. The new house will take advantage of the view- to the N, S, E and West!
