Everything from the layout to the character to the condition of this superb 1950’s classic is special. The way the home greets you as you pull up to the front and the sheer livability once you’ve moved in reminds you daily that this is anything but a normal house. It starts with the fundamentals – 4 bedrooms, 2.75 bathrooms, over 2700 SF of finished living space, a 2 car garage, and a 9000 SF lot. Then you focus on the details – all 3 baths updated, ditto the kitchen, AND the second kitchen, AC throughout the house, a charger for your EV in the garage, and an oh-so-private back yard, complete with covered pergola. Looking for a multi-generational living situation? The expansive basement can be just that with the bath and kitchenette. Or turn it into a complete ADU with some minor tweaks. You’ll find this charmer a short walk from the revitalized heart of South Tacoma Way and the restaurants, coffee, shopping, and entertainment it offers. You’ve got outdoor options nearby that include golf, the Flume Line trail, and parks, not to mention more playgrounds than you can count. Other great shopping opportunities exist to the south as well, including H&L, Paldo World, and H Mart, along with countless restaurants to sample, including Tacomas’ best Chinese food. And getting places is easy – I5 is a quick hop away up S 56th, or you can take the commuter line from the S Tacoma Way station all the way to Seattle. Seeing is believing folks, don’t pass on this one.

If privacy and tranquility are important to you then you’ll want to see this home. Tucked away from it all yet somehow in the middle of everything you’ll find this charming midcentury classic. Comfortably large and open but not so huge you’re always cleaning, this 4 bed / 2 bath home has aged gracefully and is ready for its next caretakers. Inside you’ll find a smart layout, beautiful original hardwoods, and an oh so functional kitchen. The upstairs is smartly divided between shared and private space while the downstairs provides overflow for both. The downstairs family room lives like a second living room complete with fireplace and wine fridge, while the 4th bedroom is oversized and comes with two closets, perfect as a guest space, in home office, or both. You’ll find fresh paint both inside and out, and a pleasant lack of undone punch list items – just move in and get to living. Outside you have options; there’s a charming patio in the front that’s just waiting to be highlighted by your landscaping choices, or you can spread out on your backyard deck. This space just off the kitchen is the perfect summer hang for socializing, grilling, or just an easy midweek dinner. And the backyard is just the right size for games, gardening or pups, whatever suits your fancy. Access to your life outside the home couldn’t be easier; you’re less than 5 minutes from groceries, restaurants, Narrows Marina, the Fircrest Golf Club, highway 16 and points beyond. Don’t wait too long.
