About this home

Welcome to this charming 1930s Tacoma home, nicely updated for modern convenience and perfect for multi-generational living or rental income! The main living space features a bright, open floor plan with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Inside, you will find refreshed hardwood flooring, classic details, and fresh paint. On chilly Northwest nights, gather around the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Right next to the dining area, the renovated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, premium finishes, and clean countertops. Built with flexibility in mind, the layout gives everyone their own space. The main floor features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. The upper level holds a private primary suite, tucked away from the rest of the house. The fully finished basement suite is designed for independent living, complete with its own separate entrance, a second full kitchen, a living area, a private bedroom, and a 3/4 bathroom. This setup is ideal for extended living, or you can offset your monthly payment by renting out the lower level which was rented for $2500 . Updated fixtures offer peace of mind while keeping the 1930s character intact. Centrally located in a vibrant Tacoma neighborhood, you are just minutes from a great local park, shopping, dining, and downtown. It also offers a quick, straightforward commute to I-5 and the JBLM gates. This is a great, move-in-ready opportunity for shared living or investment!
