first impressions
Mature trees populate the City of DuPont green belt behind the property. They’re visible over the roofline as you approach, and their branches are a relaxing sight stretching across a brilliant sky.
On Brackenridge, there’s a little more space between the homes, and the neighborhood is dotted with greenery and parks, lending to the feel of added peace and privacy on the far side of DuPont. An extended driveway and covered porch point to a welcoming home, where the owners can retreat quietly and friends feel comfortable.
about the home
Step through the front door, and you’ll be greeted by a home that has been lovingly cared for, updated, and prepared for the next owners. The layout may be my favorite in all of DuPont thanks to large rooms, wide walkways, storage for days, and a flow that’s easy and flexible.
The entry opens to a bright stairway and a wide living room centered around a gas fireplace. To the right, an equally impressive den sits tucked behind double doors, with a window that looks out to Brackenridge. To the left, the living room flows into the dining room and a wide kitchen, both showcasing views of the backyard’s terraced garden and the green belt. Beyond the kitchen, a small hallway leads to an envious walk-in pantry, the powder room, and the two car garage.
At the top of the staircase, the former loft has been enclosed behind two barn doors. The laundry and primary suite are to the right, and the two additional rooms and hallway bathroom are to the left. Each bedroom has a walk-in closet and loads of space, but it’s the primary that truly impresses with its natural lighting, comfortable bathroom, a closet waiting to be transformed into a proper dressing room.
Take your time wandering through, and I think you’ll see how special this place is. Great vibes start at the door and carry through a home that has been loved and enlivened. Welcome home.

a little about the community
DuPont is a small town situated next to Joint Base Lewis McChord, about halfway between Tacoma and Olympia. Home to about 10,000 residents, DuPont consists of three distinct areas, Historic Village, El Rancho Madrona, and Northwest Landing. Homes vary by area and range from historic to northwest contemporary.
DuPont’s town center offers places to stay, eat, shop, and do business, and the city is home to an award winning golf course, The Home Course, multiple parks and green spaces, and over 12 miles of trails. For more information, check out the recent DuPont blog, Living in DuPont, WA.
looking for a fun day in the area
Start the day at Mince Mercantile for coffee and breakfast. Then, pop across the street to visit the Pierce County Library or escape the town on the Sequalitchew Creek Trail, where you’ll spot gorgeous greenery and hear the trickle of water as it flows to the Puget Sound. Time it right, and you may be rewarded with views of sea lions playing between the mainland and Ketron Island or sunning on the Shipwreck when you reach the Sound. Head back the same way you came, or veer right to head up the Switchback to Tree Tunnel Trail to catch views of the water from above.
Hit up Viva Mexico for lunch, and follow up with a trip to Bliss Small Batch Creamery. Then, peruse our local boutique, 27 West. Before you head home to prepare dinner, pop into Forward Operating Base Brewing Co for growler of craft beer or cider.
On Saturday, head to Powderworks Park at 9am to join the flagship chapter of wear blue: run to remember to honor fallen service members and walk, ride, or jog the 3 mile route, passing by Patriot’s Landing and greeting the residents that come out each Saturday to cheer on participants and hand out water and dog treats.
