About This Home

As of November 2024

This is a beautifully remodeled 3 bedroom, 2.25 bath, classic Fircrest home (with a separate office room). Fircrest offers residents a great lifestyle, with a variety of parks, a golf course, a new community center, good access to the freeways, and a small-town feel. The home has been recently remodeled, turning the kitchen, eating area, and living room into a great room. The floor plan has the open concept that today's buyers are looking for. The remodel also added new LVP flooring, a large walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, light fixtures, interior paint, some plumbing fixtures, and a new patio. This is one of very few Fircrest homes that is in the highly sought-after University Place School District.
