522 Justice Dr

Available 8/1/21! Unique, Terrace Heights home featuring a tri-level design with daylight lower level and balcony-equipped upper level which perfectly complements the expansive east-to-west views that its sunny, southern exposure provides. The neighborhood is quiet, with little traffic due to the fact that its eastern border is the Yakima Country Club, so no through-streets pass through the neighborhood. Plus, it's just a few blocks from the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences. Upon arrival, a broad driveway leads to an oversized two-car garage. Along the right-hand side of the garage is a covered walkway with cathedral ceilings leading to the main entry. Once inside, you're welcomed by a roomy, slate-floored foyer with a handy coat closet, more cathedral ceilings, and impressive 70's smoked glass chandelier. On your right is the sunken living room with 16' ceilings, exposed beams, wall of windows, decadent shag carpeting, and impressive floor-to-ceiling fireplace featuring natural stone and rough-hewn cedar. Directly ahead is the staircase: Up to the Living Quarters, down to the common areas. Quiet and insulated from the common areas below, the three bedrooms, two full baths (each with its own linen closet), and balcony of the Upper Level make it easy to entertain below while kids (or parents) study, work, or sleep undisturbed. Featuring mostly laminate and tile floors (the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms have carpeting), a southern exposure, and plenty of windows, the Upper Level is light, airy, and easy to care for. The Master Suite offers a wall of double closets, laminate flooring, and access to the private balcony. The private Master Bath features hand-applied plaster with a dramatic accent wall of diagonally applied, tongue-in-groove cedar; all accompanied by tile flooring, sunken tub, and tiled counter top. With an open floor plan, the Lower Level (Family Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry Room, 1/2 Bath, and Mudroom) easily flows from one room to another. There's plenty of glass, more southern exposures, and a partially covered redwood deck. The Lower Level is all about bringing the outdoors indoors. The kitchen, mudroom, and bath are covered with ceramic tile, with padded linoleum in the laundry room and carpeting in the common areas. The roomy kitchen features hardwood cabinetry and butcher-block Formica countertops with a full Breakfast Bar and a small, built-in, desk-height work space. Finishing off the Lower Level is the Bath, Laundry Room with plenty of storage and counter space, and the Mudroom – providing access to the garage - with another storage closet. In keeping with the house's massive amount of storage space, the Family Room offers INTERIOR access to a 300 sq ft, four foot-tall, temperature-moderated crawl space that exists underneath the Living Room/Foyer (which also makes it the perfect wine cellar). Rounding out the home is its giant garage...which could easily swallow two MINI Coopers on one side and a third car on the other side. There is a sturdy workbench with shelving and peg board, plenty of space around the perimeter of the garage for additional shelf/cabinet units, and easy access to the attic space above the garage for another 300+ sq ft of storage! All in all, there isn't much this home doesn't offer; it has the great location, smart design, tons of amenities, and loads of character; all it's missing is you. Call for your personal showing beginning 8/1. Please note: Posted pictures are from 2012 when the home was last on the market. The current interior décor is much more neutral now with most of the two-tone scheme painted over and the chair rail removed. New pics to come as soon as current occupants have moved. Thanks for your patience.
