Charming and lovingly maintained, this 1918 home in South Tacoma, offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bath across about 1,156 finished square feet. The flexible floor plan includes a main level bedroom, two generous upstairs bedrooms, and a flex space with built in cabinets that works well as a home office. The living space keeps its original wood paneling, which can be embraced as an ode to 1970s style or updated to reflect your own vision. An unfinished 816 square foot basement offers the opportunity to add living space and value, buyer to verify. Outside, the well maintained and fully fenced 7,378 square foot lot features blueberry bushes, alley access to a paved driveway, and a detached garage. Everyday conveniences are close by in the S 38th Street area, including Safeway, Peter's Grocery, Buddy's Chicken & Waffles, and La Cà 38th. A compelling option for a first time buyer or investor looking for character, room to renovate, and long term upside.
