About this home

Stunning renovated two story Craftsman in Tacoma! Timeless character meets high end modern upgrades. A gated entry leads past privacy fencing and a signature weeping willow to a serene brick paver with a large water feature in the courtyard before you even step inside. The interior has been transformed with new LVP flooring, fresh paint, crisp white trim, crown molding, and decorative columns framing the open living and dining rooms. The chef's kitchen delivers: white shaker cabinets, dark hardware, subway tile backsplash, quartz counters, new stainless steel range, dishwasher, and refrigerator all beneath a natural light skylight. The designer bathroom stops buyers in their tracks: a freestanding clawfoot tub, a walk-in shower with large-format dark tile, rain head, and body jets, marble look tile floors, and mosaic accent borders. A dedicated built in pantry and home office nook with floor to ceiling shelving provides rare bonus utility. 2 Mini split AC units ensure year round comfort throughout. Step outside to a rear deck, w/ a fire place fully fenced lot, chicken coop, and a large detached garage with built in work bench's ideal as a workshop, or studio. Also a gated rear entry w/ carport for additional parking. Conveniently located minutes from I-5, SR 16, Tacoma's waterfront, restaurants, and top rated schools. A rare combination of architectural charm, seclusion, thoughtful renovation, and unbeatable location. Schedule your private showing today.
