Timeless 3-Bedroom, 2.5-Bath Home with Ample Garage & Shop Space in Auburn 

Situated on a corner lot and wonderfully close to schools, popular parks, grocery stores, dining, freeway access and more, this move-in ready Auburn home is brimming with convenience and comfort. The 1,982-square-foot layout provides abundant versatility, and in addition to 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2 lofts, you’ll find light-filled living spaces ready for gathering. One of this home’s top perks includes all of its great room for parking, projects, and storage—in addition to the 3-car garage with shop space, there’s also a detached shed and shop space. And don’t miss this home’s lovely outdoor retreat—an oversized covered patio offers a private hangout! Located at 6706 Charlotte Avenue SE Auburn, WA 98092, this timeless Auburn home is listed for $739,000. 

Just in through the front door, stylish living spaces with 9-foot ceilings and oversized windows unfold, with gleaming hardwood floors flowing throughout. Create a formal sitting space in the front living area (it’s the perfect way to greet guests!) and enjoy having even more room for gathering around the fireplace. An effortless open-concept layout transitions right into the dining area and kitchen, a welcoming haven that’s sure to become the heart of the home! 

Enjoy meals with loved ones in the dining area (there’s even space for a larger dining set), and even more seating awaits the kitchen counter. You’ll find room for everyone at your next get-together, and there’s plenty of space for hanging out in the kitchen, too! Beautifully reflective granite counters, sleek stainless steel appliances, and classic cabinetry design make up this dialed-in scene, and an extra-large window at the kitchen sink brightens up the space even more. 

One of the very best things about this home is how much versatile square footage awaits your unique vision. For starters, at the top of the stairs, a large loft area presents a long list of opportunities. Turn the space into a den with an entertainment center, create a study area for doing homework, set up the home gym you’ve always wanted, or transform the space into your dream home office.

The same possibilities await in each bedroom as well. In the primary suite, an especially spacious layout ensures you’ve got the room for a king-sized bed, organizational furniture, or even a sitting area. The ensuite bath is especially noteworthy—sunlight streams in through corner windows just above the soaking tub, and the neutral color palette along with spa-inspired finishes create a refreshing atmosphere to rejuvenate in! 

In addition to the 3-car garage with a full workshop space (it’s even heated!), there’s also a detached shed/shop space (with water). The sky’s the limit when it comes to the potential that each area presents—tons of storage, counter space, and room to spread out are all in the mix. 

When it’s time to relax out in the fresh air or host summertime BBQs, head out onto the oversized covered patio! Beautiful wood elements frame skylights overhead along with recessed lighting, while a retaining wall provides great privacy and a view of tranquil greenery. While the yard is conveniently low maintenance, you still have outdoor garden space to have fun with—raised garden beds make it easy to grow your favorite fruits and veggies in the years to come.
