Perched above it all with views of Mt. Rainier and the Sound, this 1919 Craftsman blends timeless charm with everyday livability—just blocks from Point Defiance Park and the Ruston waterfront. Inside, you'll find arched entryways, original built-ins, a cozy window bench that nod to the home’s heritage, while updates like a walk-in pantry, deck off primary and huge basement with exterior entrance—would make a great ADU! The upper-level primary suite offers a private balcony, and bonus spaces on the main and lower levels provide flexibility to grow. Detached 2-car garage off the alley, fenced yard with fruit trees, and a walkable location complete the package. Come experience this special home in one of Tacoma’s most beloved neighborhoods.
