The home includes a paved driveway that provides off-street parking. In SE Washington, dedicated parking is a meaningful practical asset, particularly for households with vehicles. The driveway is included with the property and is not subject to a separate monthly fee.
The home was built in 2019, meaning the major systems including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing are relatively recent.
