About this home

Charming historical cottage tucked away on a large, level lot in South Tacoma; this property is brimming with potential to make your homesteading or new-build dreams come true! Set far back from the street, the house’s post-war character shines with a gable roofline, brick chimney and boxy design. The cheery green front door invites you into the main floor. The dining room is open to the the kitchen, which has dark cabinets, a double-basin stainless sink and dishwasher & black appliances. The living room has a mountain mural, an arched built-in shelf and plenty of light! The main floor includes a ¾ bathroom w/shower and another PNW mural, plus the laundry nook with a stacked washer+dryer. The walnut-colored flooring throughout makes for easy cleaning & carpeted stairs lead you up to the airy loft-style bedroom! Outside, mature trees offer shade and fruit, and it seems the whole yard is in bloom. Blackberries hang over the chicken coop with space for the whole flock. The yard is ready for entertaining, with a big metal basin fire pit and space for everyone. The almost-fully fenced yard (just add a front gate!) also has a spacious shed & raised flower beds. This property offers could offer the unique opportunity for someone to live in the current home, while building a DADU in the front of the lot! Or, the lot offers abundant space to create the gardens of your dreams. The property has alley access to two driveway spots and plentiful off-street parking. New sewer line in 2025!
