About this home

Discover the character and potential of this North Tacoma gem, ideally positioned on a corner lot in the desirable North Slope neighborhood. Original charm shines through with timeless built-ins and hardwood floors, complemented by many major improvements already completed: new roof, chimney repair, electrical service panel, upstairs carpet, fresh paint in the upstairs bedrooms, new upstairs windows, new side sewer connection to the main line, fresh exterior paint, upgraded PEX plumbing, and an updated ¾ bath with walk-in glass shower and designer finishes. The home offers a great opportunity to add your own style and bring out its full potential. Sun-filled living and dining areas provide a welcoming foundation, while the functional kitchen offers ample storage, a casual dining nook, and access to the private backyard patio. Upstairs features two bedrooms, including a spacious primary with an adjoining flex room ideal for an office, nursery, reading room, dressing area, or retreat. Some rooms are virtually staged. Enjoy low-maintenance outdoor living on the private patio. A semi-detached one-car garage provides added flexibility for storage, hobbies, or workspace. With much of the heavy lifting already completed, the reduced price offers an opportunity to finish the remaining cosmetic updates and restore this home's timeless charm. Close to Proctor, Stadium District, Ruston Way, parks, shopping, and dining. Bring your vision and make it your own!
