A Rare Combination of Space, Flexibility, and VA Financing Potential

Finding a home that offers substantial land, flexible living space, and a potentially assumable VA loan is becoming increasingly difficult in the Tacoma area. 4715 136th E brings all three together on a rare double lot totaling nearly an acre.

This approximately 2,304-square-foot rambler offers five bedrooms, 1.75 bathrooms, updated finishes, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and hardwood floors, all tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street.

For buyers who want more room without giving up convenient access to everyday amenities and JBLM, this property offers a unique combination of privacy, functionality, and opportunity.

A Spacious Rambler Designed for Everyday Living

With approximately 2,304 square feet of living space, this home provides plenty of room for a growing household, guests, work-from-home needs, hobbies, and everyday activities.

The rambler layout offers the convenience of having the primary living spaces on one level, while vaulted ceilings and skylights bring additional openness and natural light into the home.

Hardwood floors add warmth and character, while the home’s updated finishes provide a balance between classic comfort and modern functionality.

The seller is also offering a $5,000 hardwood floor resurfacing credit, giving the next owner an opportunity to refresh the home’s hardwood flooring to their own preferences.

The Kitchen: Built for Cooking and Entertaining

The large kitchen is one of the home’s central gathering spaces.

Updated finishes and concrete countertops give the kitchen a distinctive look while providing plenty of workspace for everyday cooking.

The kitchen opens directly toward an oversized dining area, creating an ideal setup for entertaining.

Whether you’re hosting holiday meals, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying dinner with the family, the generous dining space provides room to spread out.

Oversized Dining Area for Gatherings

The dining area offers something many homes lack: enough space to comfortably accommodate larger gatherings.

Its connection to the kitchen makes serving meals and entertaining convenient, while the open relationship between the spaces keeps everyone connected.

For buyers who enjoy hosting, this is an important part of the home’s overall layout.

Warmth and Character from the Wood Stove

A radiant wood stove with a stone surround adds a distinctive focal point to the living space.

Beyond its visual character, the wood stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during cooler Pacific Northwest evenings.

Combined with the home’s vaulted ceilings and hardwood flooring, it contributes to a comfortable setting that feels distinctly Northwest.

A Primary Suite with Room to Relax and Flex

The primary suite offers more than just a bedroom.

It includes:

Large walk-in closet
Classic claw-foot tub
Updated stone finishes
Separate flex area

That additional flex space creates possibilities depending on your lifestyle.

It could function as:

A nursery
Home office
Sitting room
Dressing area
Personal retreat

The flexibility allows the primary suite to evolve as your needs change.

Four Additional Bedrooms for Flexible Living

The marketing remarks identify the property as a five-bedroom home, with four bedrooms served by the septic system.

The additional bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for households that need dedicated spaces for family members, guests, work, hobbies, or other uses.

With five bedrooms overall, buyers have room to adapt the home to different stages of life.

Dedicated Utility & Mud Room

One of the home’s practical features is its dedicated utility/mud room.

The space includes:

Laundry area
Wash station
Extra refrigerator
Water heater

A dedicated utility space can make everyday life considerably easier, particularly for households with children, pets, outdoor hobbies, or muddy Pacific Northwest weather.

It also provides a natural transition area between the home and the outdoors.

Outdoor Living with Space to Spread Out

The nearly one-acre double lot is one of the defining characteristics of this property.

The outdoor space includes:

Large front deck
Covered back deck/patio
Fully fenced backyard
Established outdoor areas
Large concrete recreational pad
Separate outbuilding

The combination provides room for outdoor entertaining, recreation, gardening, pets, hobbies, and future improvements.

A Large Concrete Pad with Multiple Possibilities

A large dedicated concrete pad adds another layer of flexibility to the property.

The current possibilities include:

Basketball
Recreation
Outdoor activities
Additional usable space

The pad also provides an existing area that could potentially support a future garage or other improvement, subject to applicable requirements, approvals, and site considerations.

Outbuilding with Small-Shop Potential

The property also includes an outbuilding that could work well as a small shop or motorcycle garage.

For buyers who enjoy working on projects, motorcycles, tools, or equipment, having dedicated space separate from the main house can be a major advantage.

It adds functionality without taking valuable living space away from the home.

Privacy at the End of a Dead-End Street

Location within the neighborhood is another standout feature.

The home sits at the end of a quiet dead-end street, creating a more secluded setting while still maintaining convenient access to everyday amenities.

For buyers who want the feeling of having more privacy and breathing room without moving far away from Tacoma conveniences, this location offers an appealing balance.

Nearly an Acre Without Giving Up Convenience

Large residential properties near Tacoma can be difficult to find, particularly when they also offer convenient access to shopping and major highways.

The nearly one-acre lot gives buyers considerably more outdoor space than a typical suburban property.

At the same time, the property remains close to:

Shopping
Major highways
Everyday services
Regional employment centers

This combination of acreage and accessibility is one of the home’s strongest selling points.

Approximately 20 Minutes to JBLM

For military families, location matters.

According to the marketing remarks, the property is approximately 20 minutes from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM).

That makes the home particularly relevant for:

Active-duty service members
Military families
PCS relocations
Veterans using VA financing
DoD employees

The combination of a large lot, five-bedroom layout, flexible spaces, and JBLM access gives military buyers another reason to consider this property.

A Potential 3.75% VA Loan Assumption

One of the most notable financial features of this listing is the advertised 3.75% VA loan assumption.

For an eligible buyer who qualifies for the assumption and meets the lender or servicer’s requirements, assuming an existing VA loan with a below-current-market interest rate could potentially provide an important financing consideration.

Buyers should verify the current loan balance, remaining term, eligibility requirements, fees, and other terms directly with the loan servicer or appropriate lending professional.

The availability and terms of the assumption should be confirmed before relying on it in a purchase decision.

A New Transferable Roof

The home also features a brand-new transferable roof, adding another significant improvement for the next owner.

A newer roof can provide buyers with additional peace of mind regarding one of the home’s major exterior systems.

The transferability and specific terms of any applicable warranty should be independently verified during the transaction.

Why This Tacoma Property Stands Out

There is a lot packed into this property.

Highlights include:

Nearly 1-acre double lot
Approximately 2,304 square feet
Five-bedroom layout
1.75 bathrooms
Advertised 3.75% VA loan assumption
$5,000 hardwood floor resurfacing credit
Brand-new transferable roof
Vaulted ceilings
Skylights
Hardwood floors
Large kitchen with concrete countertops
Oversized dining area
Wood stove with stone surround
Primary suite with walk-in closet
Claw-foot tub
Flexible primary suite space
Dedicated utility/mud room
Large front deck
Covered back deck/patio
Fully fenced backyard
Outbuilding for shop or motorcycle garage
Large concrete recreational pad
End-of-street location
Convenient access to shopping and highways
Approximately 20 minutes to JBLM

The combination is what makes 4715 136th E stand out. This isn’t simply a home with a large yard. It’s a property designed to give its next owner space, flexibility, privacy, and room to pursue different lifestyles and interests.
