About this home
Charming post-war cottage on a large, level lot in South Tacoma, brimming with potential for homesteaders, gardeners, and builders alike! Set far back from the street, the home has a gable roofline and brick chimney. Inside you’ll find a bright living room with a mountain mural and arched built-in, an open dining room and kitchen, a ¾ bath, a laundry nook with stacked washer/dryer, easy-care flooring throughout, and an airy loft-style bedroom upstairs. Outside, mature fruit and shade trees, raised flower beds, a chicken coop, a spacious shed, and a big fire pit make the yard ready for entertaining. Live in the home while exploring a DADU opportunity at the front of the lot (buyer to verify feasibility), or use the space to create the garden of your dreams. Alley access to two driveway spots plus plentiful off-street parking. New sewer line in 2025!
