Mount Rainier out your front window. Kandle Park across the street. A neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood. This thoughtfully refreshed mid-century home offers the warmth, character, and versatility that's becoming harder to find in North Tacoma. Original parquet hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, fresh interior paint, newly painted kitchen cabinetry, a freshly painted front door, and stainless steel appliances create an inviting blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. A spacious, versatile flex space with heated tile floors and its own exterior entrance is ready to become your second living area, home office, studio, fitness room, hobby space, or client-facing business. Enjoy peace of mind with a new roof (2022) featuring a one-time transferable 30-year manufacturer's warranty and a heat pump installed in September 2023 with a 12-year factory warranty. The fully fenced backyard offers a patio, mature apple tree, and detached 360-square-foot garage with convenient alley access, providing exceptional flexibility today and exciting future DADU potential. Just minutes from the Proctor District, Point Defiance, Point Ruston, Ruston Way waterfront, shopping, dining, schools, and commuter routes. Some things can't be remodeled...enduring character, the welcome of an established neighborhood, and the feeling that you've arrived somewhere worth staying. That's the heartbeat of home.
