1937 Tumwater duplex with genuine warmth and lots of character, situated nicely on a large lot. Enjoy lovely oak hardwood flooring, quaint tiled period kitchens, shared yet separated back yards with new fencing, clean and dry basement for storage, ping pong, etc. and laundry hookups. Storage in garage off the alley in back. High walkability, close to great local restaurants, grocery shopping, Tumwater Falls Park and I-5 entrance. 516 and 520 are mirror images of each other with the exception that 520 has a second bedroom upstairs with new carpeting. Both units have their own separate gas forced air furnace. 516 has a wood stove and 520 has a fireplace. Terrific location for state or capital workers.
