1909 W Yakima Ave, Yakima, WA 98902

Tucked away in the Barge-Chestnut neighborhood, this may be one of the best-kept secrets. Set back from W Yakima Avenue and surrounded by mature trees, this 1987 Cape Cod-style home offers something surprisingly hard to find here: the character and established setting of Barge-Chestnut without a nearly century-old house.

With 2,376 sq ft, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a main-floor primary suite, the floor plan offers plenty of room without sacrificing flexibility. The oversized primary opens through French doors to the large backyard deck, while three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms are upstairs.

Generous bedroom sizes, multiple living-space options and updated flooring in portions of the home make it easy to use the space in whatever way works best for you. The main living room features a classic brick fireplace, while the home's oversized windows and neutral interiors keep the spaces bright and inviting.

Outside is where this property may surprise you most. The home is tucked back from the street, with mature trees creating an unexpectedly private setting in the middle of town. The fenced backyard and large deck offer plenty of room for relaxing, pets or entertaining.

And don't overlook the practical stuff: attached two-car garage, RV or boat parking, central air, newer gas furnace, approximately seven-year-old roof, underground sprinklers and YID irrigation. If you've been waiting for Barge-Chestnut but don't necessarily want the projects and quirks that can come with a 1920s home, come see what is hiding at 1909 W Yakima Avenue.
