About this home

Welcome home to this charming corner-lot cottage, where classic arched doorways, coved ceilings, crown moldings, and warm hardwoods greet you at every turn. Settle in by the fireplace, framed in Carrara marble and shiplap, as Rejuvenation lighting casts a soft, timeless glow. The kitchen, featured in This Old House magazine, is a joy to cook in, with shaker cabinets, a farmhouse sink, subway tile, a pot filler, stainless appliances, and a sweet Dutch door that invites in the fresh air. Heated bathroom floors make chilly mornings a little cozier. Upstairs, bedrooms glow with fir floors and built-in storage, plus walk-in attic space for all your extras. The lower level offers a flexible bonus room with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, a handy laundry room with utility sink, and a tuck-under garage. Step outside to terraced landscaping and a fenced backyard with mature trees and a patio, a true gardener's delight. Just minutes to the 6th Ave Business District's dining and shops, with quick access to Hwy 16. Tacoma Public Schools.
