Our House

This is our house for SALE! Some details about our house, it is approx 1858 square feet, 2 stories with a 2 car garage. It is the largest home & property in a smaller development in Yelm called Canal Estates. It is on a corner lot on a cul-de-sac in a very family/kid friendly neighborhood.

This house has gas heat, a hybrid septic/sewer system you will never have to worry about because the town pays for it's care, and central air conditioning (yea!). Utilities run between $200 - $300 per month. The entire house was re-carpeted in August. The new premium carpet is from Empire and the color is Bark, I love it! When there is a small spill, like from a sippy cup it beads up! Also, there are 2 1/2 baths, 2 full baths upstairs, one in the hallway and one in the master bedroom, and the 1/2 bath is downstairs. All bathrooms have new flooring. There are also 2 large plant ledges, one at the top of the stairs and one as a shelf in front of the stairs under the huge window. This house is also wired for ADT and is near two popular walking trails.

The elementary school districted for this neighborhood is Millpond, the middle school is Yelm Middle School, and the high school is Yelm High School. There are many churches, stores, restaurants, a nice movie theater and activities in town. Some of our favorites are: Prairie Dance Center, Prairie Soccer Club, Yelm Gymnastics Center and the library, of course!.

Some other fun stuff is the Yelm Junior Programs, the Roy Pioneer Rodeo (which is the first weekend in June and September every year) and the Lacey Parks and Rec. This area is also very active with Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We have found other things like a young ladies reading society and a kids lego club...there is really so much here.

There are tons of family field trips to make too, like the Northwest Trek, the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Pioneer Farm, Mount Rainier, the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad and of course there's Seattle & Tacoma!

Even though we are out in Yelm, we are less than 30 minutes from Fort Lewis, less than 40 from McChord AFB and Camp Murray. There are 2 ways to get to Ft. Lewis, our favorite is through McKenna, through Roy and then through the not-so-well-known Roy gate. Or you could head up Yelm Highway to Reservation Road and catch the I-5, also exit 116.

On Fort Lewis there are lots of activities too, through MWR. Through CYS we have done spring & fall soccer as well as the Challenger Soccer Camp, we have played at the Raindrops and Rainbows center on North Fort, and if your spouse is deployed, you can go to Jensen Gym and work out with FREE Childcare, for FREE.

There is so much more to do here, I could go on and on. If you would like a piano or violin teacher to come to your home for lessons, I have them! I also have 2 very reliable babysitters. I hope you enjoy the hyper links, we truely have enjoyed exploring Washington!
