1940s charm, thoughtful updates, and a great Tacoma location! Tucked away on a quiet, no-through street, this 2,270 sq ft home has so much original character, from the arched doorways and built-ins to the large picture windows overlooking mature landscaping. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, fresh paint, new carpet, a spacious living room, dining area with a built-in hutch, and two bedrooms on the main floor. The kitchen features a high-end KitchenAid convection range with downdraft ventilation. Downstairs offers a large bonus room, flexible space for guests, and a spacious half bath with room to add a shower. Many of the big-ticket updates are already done, including an updated downstairs electrical panel, new hot and cold water lines in 2022, and attic insulation in 2025. Outside, there's a covered front porch and a large, flat, fully fenced backyard with fruit trees, a garden shed, and plenty of room to enjoy. The location is hard to beat, with easy access to Hwy 16, I-5, and bus routes 1 and 28. Both major hospitals are just 7 minutes away, while Proctor, Ruston, Point Defiance, TCC, and UPS are all nearby. Tacoma Boys, Metropolitan Market, local coffee shops, and everyday shopping are just minutes from home, with SeaTac approximately 30 minutes away.
