About this home

Come see this Tacoma rambler, where classic character meets thoughtful updates across a rare and generous 12,000sf lot. Inside, hardwood floors flow through an open kitchen and living space, with two bedrooms tucked on one side and a private primary suite on the east wing. The suite, with private access to patio with sauna, also offers a walk-in closet, full bathroom, and its own dedicated ductless mini-split, so you can dial in your own comfort in more ways than one. Recent updates mean you can move in and simply enjoy: a new front fence, updated faucets and showerheads, a new garbage disposal, and a professionally extended concrete driveway. Out back, a sprawling yard invites you to slow down among garden beds bursting with lavender, a fruiting cherry tree, a greenhouse, a sauna, an in ground firepit, a chicken coop, a play set, and a shed to store it all. Dream a little bigger too, there is room for potentially up to two DADUs in the backyard, opening the door to real passive income (buyer to verify). All of this sits a short walk from Stewart Heights Park and the East Side Community Center, with easy access to Verlo Play Field and major highways for a smooth commute. This is more than a house, it is a lifestyle waiting for you to build your next chapter.
