Behold this gardeners' dream lot w/a remarkably move-in ready house! Classic 1909 home w/quadruple lot, unusually large for a central city location. Potential for DADU, urban farm, CSA, orchard - just imagine! Existing food/flower crops, wood chips (weed suppression), irrigation, utility shed, deck. Home was remodeled to the studs: New plumbing, wiring, lighting, electrical panel, tankless hot water, windows, kitchen (water filtration, on-demand hot water), Bosch appliances, waterproof laminate, combo W/D unit, electric car charger, fencing, hand-built owners' touches. New roof/furnace 2018. New, but feels like a historic home. Convenient Central Tacoma location. Close to bus lines, business districts, Franklin Park, local schools and more!
