Property Description

Every house has a story, and this one is truly special. This charming 1910 Craftsman has had just 3 owners! Purchased in the 1960s by a local artist, pinstriper, sign painter, woodworker, hobby pilot, and WWII Navy veteran and his known seamstress wife, the home became both a residence and creative showcase. The garage served as his workshop, where many of the home's unique features were handcrafted, including the custom kitchen cabinetry, vintage Berggren tiles, theater-style curtains, & the whimsical replica of Fort Nisqually. The current owners have thoughtfully preserved & enhanced that legacy. Set above the street on an oversized .22-acre lot, the home retains much of its original charm w tall ceilings, original woodwork, built-ins, spacious main-floor bedrooms, a vintage kitchen, and an expansive living & dining area. A hidden kitchen stairwell leads to an approximately 400 sq. ft. attic full of possibilities. Recent updates include a new roof, skirting, refinished hardwood floors, updated electrical panel, new W/D, & water heater. A 1,000+ sq. ft. garage with shop space and office is ideal for hobbyists or car enthusiasts. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping, a private fenced backyard, 15' x 44' covered RV/boat parking, a covered patio, & the charming Fort Nisqually replica. Conveniently located in South Tacoma, just minutes to I-5, transit, schools, restaurants, & shopping, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Tacoma history.
