Sunlight pours into every room of this quintessential Mount Rainier cottage, a house that feels like home from the moment the front door opens.  Beautiful wide plank pine floors glow throughout the open floor plan and into the bedrooms and bathrooms with a bright and warm ambiance. The spacious kitchen has ample room for many cooks and features Energy Star appliances, expansive granite counter tops, and a moveable island. The interconnected dining, living, and family room spaces offer flexibility with their multifunctional design. The owner's suite is a spacious retreat, surrounded by windows and views of the beautiful gardens just beyond. Finishing off the main level are 2 guest bedrooms and a shared bath. Outside, the front and back covered porches compete for your respite, with the front welcoming neighbors and friends to stop by and visit,  while the rear is a peaceful perch overlooking the backyard gardens, both perfect for enjoying the tranquil vibe of this wonderful neighborhood.
