About this home
Charming 1.5-story home on a large 6,000 SF corner lot (S G St & S 84th St) in historic Fern Hill. This property blends classic character with massive investment potential under Tacoma's Urban 2 zoning (Home Tacoma). Use the large west yard to potentially build a second home, a triplex, or split it into up to three 1,000 SF child lots! The home was fully renovated from the studs out 20 years ago with new insulation, a 200A panel, PEX-A plumbing, and vinyl windows. Inside, enjoy a bright living space with 5-inch real cherry hardwood floors and a cozy gas fireplace. The home features fresh White Duck paint, white trim, and new quartz counters alongside a full white subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. The main floor bedroom has engineered cherry flooring and a 9-pane door leading to a southwest-facing 12x12' deck with southern views of a historic church. Upstairs features new carpet, 2 bedrooms with sloped ceilings, and a bonus 4-foot-peak finished attic space perfect for play or storage. Systems are built to last with a brand-new gas water heater, a 4-year-old roof, and low-maintenance HardiePlank siding. The large lot is fully fenced (4' chain-link with a 6' privacy fence in the back) and includes two 8x12' storage sheds, one fully wired with light and power. Location is unbeatable: kitty-corner to the Fern Hill business district (dining, shops, salons), two blocks from the library and elementary school, and just 0.4 miles from Fern Hill Park. Steps to it all!
