A rare in-town opportunity with room to imagine what comes next. Set on a generous .55+/- acre lot in the heart of Tumwater, this character-filled 1945 home offers space, setting, and vintage charm that are increasingly hard to find. Tucked away on a dead-end street beside Michael T. Simmons Elementary School, the location is close to parks, services, shopping, the Tumwater Craft District, and commuter routes. The main floor features hardwood and cork flooring, laundry room with utility sink, office, primary bedroom, and full bath with a charming clawfoot tub. The spacious kitchen with dining area holds loads of possibility. Bring your vision for a thoughtful refresh or renovation while appreciating valuable updates, including a new furnace and A/C in 2022 and water heater in 2020. A detached two-car garage with workshop space and unfinished basement add excellent storage and utility. A sweet home, a big, flat lot, and lots of upside.
