About this home

Classic Tacoma Charm with Flexible Living Space & Oversized Garage Step into the character and charm of 1918 with this inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in a convenient Tacoma location. Thoughtfully refreshed with new kitchen countertops, new carpet, and fresh interior paint, this home is move-in ready while still offering the timeless appeal of an older home. The main floor features a comfortable bedroom and easy living spaces, while the upper level offers a second bedroom plus an additional walk-through room that could be a home office, nursery, reading room, dressing area, or whatever best suits your needs. Outside, enjoy a welcoming covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day—along with an attractive black ornamental metal fence framing the front yard. The flat, usable yard provides plenty of room for gardening, pets, entertaining, or play. A standout feature is the separate approximately 800-square-foot garage, complete with 220 wiring, offering exceptional space for vehicles, a workshop, storage, hobbies, or future possibilities. Alley access makes parking and garage access convenient. Centrally located with easy access to Tacoma amenities, shopping, dining, parks, and major routes. A charming vintage home with practical updates, a versatile floor plan, and a separate garage-ready for its next chapter.
