About This Home
As of August 2022Welcome to your Manitou charmer! Whether you’re tired of renting, condo-living, sizing down, keeping it simple on the grid or building your rental portfolio, this house is a deal. Huge yards offer space to expand your home or keep it cute-n-cozy inside, focusing on your large oasis outside. Or do both! Wedged between Lakewood, Tacoma, Fircrest, UP, and a short commute to JBLM or Sounder Station, Manitou packs a location punch with plenty of convenient coffee places for a quick fix. Walk to Manitou Park up the street or hit a round at Meadow Park Golf Course. Gather healthy options at H&L Produce a few blocks away, dine out with plenty of restaurants nearby, or DoorDash that Netflix night on your comfy couch. Is $300k a great deal or what?!
