Five Days for Mount Rainier Five-Bedroom
This ultra-affordable five-bedroom bungalow in Mount Rainier spent the least time on the market of today's featured listings, finding a buyer in five days. A double-wide entryway past the living room leads to the dining room and has open sightlines into the kitchen, which has a stainless steel farmhouse sink, a wall-mounted oven, and color-blocked Marmoleum floors, as well as a series of windows converging in the corner. A sunroom on this level doubles as the laundry room, and two bedrooms share a full bath on this level also. At the top of the stairs, a built-in shelving unit offers a partition, while a secluded nook on the large landing can double as an office or play area. The lower level has a separate side entrance and offers a junior one-bedroom in-law suite with L-shaped kitchen and separate laundry room.

On the main level, the living room and family room both have tray ceilings and slate panel fireplaces. The interior garage opens into the lower level, which has a wine cellar with access to a separate storage room.
