About this home

Discover the perfect house-hack or multi-generational living opportunity in Tacoma’s Fern Hill neighborhood. Beautifully remodeled, this home with an attached dwelling / duplex, giving you flexible options: live in one unit and rent the other, rent both, or keep loved ones close with separate, private spaces. The front unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 updated bathroom, its own washer/dryer hookups, luxury vinyl plank flooring, modern soft-close white cabinets, quartz counters, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A large front yard and driveway parking for 2 cars make it feel like its own standalone home. The back unit offers 3 bedrooms and 1 updated bathroom, with large windows that bring in abundant natural light, its own laundry hookups, and parking for up to 3 cars in the back area. The entire property is fully fenced with thoughtfully separated yard spaces for the front and back, ideal for pets, play, gardening, and outdoor entertaining while preserving privacy for each household. With a newer roof, siding, gutters, and furnace, much of the heavy lifting is already done. All of this is centrally located just minutes from Fern Hill’s local shops, restaurants, parks, grocery options, and convenient commuter routes, making it highly attractive to both future tenants and owner-occupants alike.
