About this home

Some homes just feel right — and this 1951 Lakewood home is one of them. Step inside and the character of a mid-century build comes through, with a footprint that keeps things simple and easy to care for. The attached garage keeps you dry through the Northwest seasons, and public water and sewer keep daily life straightforward. Outside, the lot offers genuine breathing room — space for a garden, a project, or a quiet corner that's all yours. Location is the quiet win: about a mile from I-5, so Tacoma and the wider South Sound are within easy reach while Lakewood's everyday conveniences stay close to home. Vacant and ready, with possession at closing and conventional financing welcome. Whether you're putting down roots or adding a well-located property to your portfolio, this is a straightforward chance to make it yours. Come walk it and see how it feels.
