About this home

Single Family · Built 1941

Charming home on a large corner lot. This 1940's home with large living space could use a few updates and be restored back to its original beauty with its hardwood floors, built-in cabinets, and curved entryways. Partially finished downstairs with rec room in addition to a bedroom and 3/4 bath. Finish off the basement to add more living space! Huge fenced backyard and deck. This home also has a detached 2 car garage with shop space for the car enthusiast, gardener, or hobbyist. Great location close to local businesses, schools, downtown Tacoma and I-5.
