About this home

Single Family · Built 1909 · Historic

Behold this gardeners' dream lot w/a remarkably move-in ready house! Classic 1909 home w/quadruple lot, unusually large for a central city location.

New roof/furnace 2018. New, but feels like a historic home. Convenient Central Tacoma location. Close to bus lines, business districts, Franklin Park, local schools and more!
