Mountain getaway opportunity in the heart of Packwood! Bring your vision and restore this charming fixer into the perfect cabin retreat, vacation rental, or investment property. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 704 square feet of potential and is ready for its next chapter. A brand-new 2-bedroom septic system has already been installed, providing an excellent head start for future improvements. One of this property's greatest advantages is its unbeatable in-town location—leave the car behind and enjoy an easy walk to Packwood's popular breweries, coffee shop, restaurants, grocery store, and other local amenities. Just minutes from White Pass Ski Area, Mt. Rainier National Park, premier hiking trails, fishing, and endless year-round recreation, this is the ideal basecamp for every season.
