Charming Turn-of-the-Century Tacoma Home — Move-In Ready in the Heart of South Tacoma. Classic character meets modern updates in this beautifully refreshed 3-bedroom, 1-bath home built in 1905. The main-floor primary bedroom offers single-level living convenience, while two additional bedrooms upstairs provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Freshly painted inside and out and finished with newer luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, this home is truly turn-key. The bright, functional kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and abundant natural light from windows on three sides. A dedicated laundry area, updated bathroom, and an inviting living room round out the comfortable main level. Outside, enjoy a flat, fully usable lot with a back patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining, plus a 1-car garage and additional uncovered parking off the alley for 2–3 vehicles. Several big-ticket updates are already taken care of: the sewer line was replaced in 2022, and the roof remains in good condition. Ideally located with easy freeway access and close proximity to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home blends historic charm, smart updates, and an unbeatable location. Don't miss it!
