Endless potential meets prime location in one of Tacoma's most vibrant and evolving neighborhoods. Being sold as-is, this property presents a rare opportunity for investors, developers, or buyers looking to add value while benefitting from the continued revitalization of Tacoma's historic district. Tax records reflect 3 bedrooms; however, the home offers 2 additional finished rooms that provide flexible options for office space, guest rooms, or creative use. The main level features a welcoming living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. A separate exterior entry from the back porch leads to the upper level, offering 3 additional rooms and a full bathroom - creating a versatile layout with potential for multi-generational living or income-producing possibilities (buyer to verify). Basement entry from kitchen; basement includes washer and dryer hookups, hot water heater, and HVAC system, with space that may be finished to expand usable square footage or provide additional storage. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard with parking and convenient alley access. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Tacoma, local dining, shopping, transit routes, and everyday amenities, this property combines location, flexibility, and opportunity.
