Custom-Built Home with Detached Apartment on 1.82 Acres in Puyallup

This idyllic Puyallup residence, nestled on 1.82 acres in a quiet gated community, presents a fantastic opportunity for multi-generational living! The main home was custom built by the original owner, featuring an open-concept layout and spacious deck with a partial view of Mount Rainier. The detached 3-car garage is every car lover’s dream come true, and it even includes an attached 600-square-foot apartment for additional space/income! Located at 14121 114th Avenue E, Puyallup, WA 98374 this hidden gem is listed for $869,500.

Inside is a multi-level layout offering amenities on every floor. As you enter the main level, you’ll find a convenient ¾ bath, laundry room (all appliances stay!), and a living space that you can adapt as a den or home office. Continue upstairs and enjoy open-concept living with the great room; vaulted ceilings soar above, and an entire wall is dedicated to windows, allowing natural light to flood through this airy space. Plush carpeting and a gas fireplace create coziness inside the living room, and the dining area provides a seamless transition to the kitchen. Here you benefit from a breakfast bar, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of counter space. This kitchen’s sleek appliances make cooking easy, not to mention the walk-in pantry around the corner, where you can easily store all essentials!

Two bedrooms and 1 ¾ baths are available on this floor. The dreamy primary suite includes built-ins and a walk-in closet for additional storage, and just wait until you enter the attached bath; its beautiful tilework and vast shower evoke tranquility. From this bedroom you can access the deck outside, which is the perfect spot to enjoy the partial view of Mount Rainier!

The amenities don’t stop there! Outside is a detached 3-car garage, and its shop area features vaulted ceilings built for a car lift. It includes a ½ bath, gas heat, and hot/cold water. You can store and work on your vehicles here or transform any of these spaces into a craft room, art studio, or gym. The possibilities are endless! There’s also a 600-square-foot apartment available, complete with a spacious bedroom and ¾ bath. It boasts an extra laundry room, full kitchen, and quaint living area, making this an ideal mother-in-law suite.

This home’s sprawling yard is partially fenced and completely surrounded by beautiful nature. Evergreen trees tower above, and the grass will stay fresh and green with the provided sprinkler system.
