The detached garage with alley access offers a prime setup to create a DADU, studio, or guest suite, while the main lower level already includes solid wood cabinets, ample counter space, and the potential for a second kitchen. The main level features solid wood cabinetry in the kitchen & custom built-ins in the living room, showcasing quality & detail at every turn. Ideally located just minutes from Highway 16, Point Defiance Park, Ruston Way waterfront, & Proctor District shops & dining—and only half a mile from Geiger Montessori School—this home pairs charm, flexibility, and investment potential.
