Rowandale | Serene house in University Place - short walk away from Puget Sound
Rowandale
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Just a short walk from the Puget Sound, you'll find Rowandale. A mid-century modern charmer, this home gets its name from the beautiful Rowan Tree nestled in front of the home. A place of pure peace and warm welcomes, the home has been adorned with touches of Pacific Northwest, Scandinavian, and Japanese influence.
Walking inside, you will instantly take notice of the light-filled living room. Composed of high ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows, this room offers a serene spot to sit back, visit, and stream your favorite shows. Steps away, the updated kitchen radiantly gleams with its white tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. When mealtime rolls around, dine family-style at the formal dining table, or take your culinary creations outside where you can dine al fresco on the deck.
Through exploring the rest of the home, you will find a cozy media room, complete with another large TV, a work desk, and a bookshelf full of travel books. Everyone's slumber is guaranteed to be restful amongst the bedroom's soft linens, inviting color palettes, and central air-conditioning.
Away from Rowandale, visit Chambers Bay PGA Golf Course (1.6 miles), Fort Steilacoom Park (5.4 miles), the Museum of Glass (8.6 miles), and the Washington State Fair Events Center (18.4 miles).
