Attractive 2 bedroom, 1 bath 972 SF home on an oversized lot (75' x 128') in the heart of South Tacoma. Even though this house is on 56th St, the house sits high off the road, so the street is not even a factor. Ample parking off the alley and a 1.5 car 480 SF detached garage which could be enlarged and converted into an ADU plus garage for extra living or rental income. The lot is large enough to build an additional rental or garage as well. The home was remodeled in 2014 with new 30 year comp roof, vinyl windows and a complete kitchen makeover with maple cabinets and laminate counters. Interior has new paint with white doors and trim. New vinyl planked bath flooring. Ready for the new buyer to enjoy! NEW LOW PRICE!
