The kitchen shines with stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and open flow. Two and a half spa-inspired bathrooms feature modern fixtures and stunning tilework. Outside includes a covered deck, smart sprinklers, and a carriage house garage/shop. With five true bedrooms—rare in this area—there’s space for all. Just blocks from Point Defiance Park and the Ruston waterfront, this is a chance to own Tacoma’s history, fully updated for today.
