Tacoma Fourplex with growth potential! This large corner lot comes with views of the mountain and craftsman charm. The up and coming Hilltop area has undergone a substantial transformation and is now a favorite for investors who want to be in the path of progress. Nearby hospitals, restaurants and the incoming light rail put this near job growth opportunities. The main level has tall 9 ft ceilings and a shared basement provides storage and laundry. The detached garage has 3 bays, currently leased to the tenants but could potentially be rented out as storage units or developed into a future DADU. One unit available for showings, inspection report, floorplan and 3D tour available upon request.
