First time on the market in 76 years, this early Tacoma home sits along the historic route connecting downtown to “Galloping Gertie,” the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge. A great opportunity to own one of the neighborhood’s earliest residences. Neighborhood lore even suggests that mules helped dig the home’s basement—one of many reminders of its early Tacoma roots. Craftsman-era charm shines throughout with a welcoming entry vestibule with leaded glass sidelights, wood floors, Craftsman doors, coved ceilings, and a formal dining room. The beautifully updated kitchen features Ericksons custom cabinetry, stylish tile, a garden window, and a cozy breakfast nook. A permitted 12×14 solarium adds a bright and relaxing space to enjoy year-round. The 952 sq ft basement with 8-ft ceilings offers excellent storage and future equity. Major updates over the years include windows, plumbing, roof & gutters, siding, chimney, insulation, a 92% efficiency gas furnace, gas water heater, gas fireplace, and more. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard, RV parking with 30-amp hookup, and two garages—including one with a unique story: a former boathouse transported from Day Island and repurposed on this property. A rich blend of Tacoma history, craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates, ready for its next chapter.
