There’s something special about a 1913 Craftsman, the kind of warmth and character you feel the moment you arrive, and this Lincoln District gem delivers. Set in one of Tacoma’s most vibrant neighborhoods, you’re just minutes from local restaurants, everyday conveniences, and the fun of newly revitalized Gas Station Park. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Inside, timeless details shine with original hardwood floors, classic built-ins, and large windows that flood the home with natural light. The 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath layout offers both function and charm, including a full bath with a beautiful clawfoot tub. The finished basement creates space for work, play, or storage, while the versatile third floor is divided into three zones—perfect for bedrooms, an office, or creative flex space. Out back, a private, freshly landscaped yard with new bark and a poured concrete patio invites easy entertaining and quiet evenings alike. Off-street parking and a powered shed add convenience and utility. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a new furnace, central A/C, and hot water heater, along with newer LG appliances. With its blend of historic character, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, this home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Could this be where yours begins?
