Rare opportunity to own a Craftsman in DuPont’s Historic Village neighborhood! The neighborhood has parks like Robson Park, playgrounds, the DuPont Historical Museum, and the DuPont Community Center. There are miles of walking trails! The historic train site has a trail leading to waterfront- “The trail follows the historic route of the Dynamite Train which was owned by the DuPont Company and ended at a wharf on Puget Sound to ship dynamite worldwide, so the trail itself is a moderate, steady downhill/ uphill grade. You can learn more about the trail by picking up a Sequiltchew Creek Trail Map from DuPont City Hall during normal operating hours. Also, be sure to learn more about the history along this trail at the DuPont Historical Museum.”

This neighborhood is truly lovely. As you drive through, you can feel its rich history and sense that it’s a special place. Homes here rarely come on the market!

“We love the neighborhood, it’s close to JBLM, and conveniently located between Tacoma and Olympia. I loved getting pizza at Farrelli”s and ice cream at Bliss! Also, in the summer there’s a fun weekly farmer’s market at Clocktower Park with produce, music, and great food trucks. In December, Santa comes parading through the neighborhood in a fire truck. I’m going to miss the neighbors! They’re so fun to hang out with. Everyone is so kind and looks out for each other. One neighbor usually throws great 4th of July and Halloween parties! “

Step into a warm living area featuring a floor-mounted gas hearth—perfect for cozy nights.

Notice the lovely gold, period appropriate address decal that the sellers had placed on the front window.

There are newer windows throughout the home. The sellers spent 25k on upgrading the windows in 2023. It has helped reduce their monthly utility costs!

“There is so much I am going to miss about this home! In the summer, sitting on the porch reading a book and drinking iced tea or eating brunch. In the winter, curled up on the couch while the gas fireplace style heater is going and watching movies.” -Seller

This is the bedroom that is closest to the front of the home.

Each of the bedrooms are on the main-floor and have a bathroom with a tub/shower combo attached.

The kitchen has a gas range, large fridge, dishwasher, and built-in shelving. You could purchase a smaller fridge and set it on the opposite wall if you wanted to have access to the other set of built-in shelves, and access to the bedroom door that is behind the fridge.

Beyond the kitchen is a second living area for dining, lounging, or entertaining. The laundry room is located at the back of the home as well.

The laundry room has a washer and dryer that is included with the home. There is a closet in this room as well to store laundry supplies. This is where the water heater is located.

The second bathroom offers convenient access for guests from the dining area, or directly from the second bedroom.

The upstairs offers additional versatile space, perfect for a guest room, home office, or cozy hangout area. Through this area is another room with a door.

When the sellers purchased this home, the appraiser counted the upstairs as a third bedroom. There are no closets or heating, but you could easily add a closet and a space heater or wall heating unit if you wanted to. The sellers used this as a home office when they lived here.
