About this home
Nestled along the historic route connecting downtown Tacoma to the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, this cherished Craftsman-era home offers a rare blend of character, history, and thoughtful updates. Timeless details include a welcoming entry vestibule with leaded-glass sidelights, wood floors, Craftsman doors, coved ceilings, and a formal dining room. The updated kitchen features Erickson's custom cabinetry, stylish tilework, a garden window, and a cozy breakfast nook. A permitted 12x14 solarium creates a bright, year-round living space overlooking the property. The 952 sq ft basement with 8-foot ceilings provides exceptional storage, workshop space, and future potential. Major improvements over the years include updated windows, plumbing, roof and gutters, siding, chimney, insulation, a 92% efficiency gas furnace, gas water heater, and gas fireplace. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard, RV parking with a 30-amp hookup, and two garages—including a former Day Island boathouse relocated and repurposed on the property. Held by the same family for the past 76 years, the home is rich with local history. Neighborhood lore even suggests that mules helped dig the basement, while its location recalls the era when travelers passed this way en route to "Galloping Gertie." A truly special opportunity to own a home that beautifully connects Tacoma's past with modern comfort....
