Step into a charming piece of Tacoma history, where timeless Craftsman character meets thoughtful modern updates. Held by the same family for 76 years, this special home features leaded-glass sidelights, warm wood floors, classic Craftsman doors, coved ceilings, and a formal dining room. The updated kitchen offers custom Erickson cabinetry, beautiful tilework, a garden window, and cozy breakfast nook. A permitted 12×14 solarium provides a light-filled retreat overlooking the fully fenced backyard, while the 952 sq ft basement with 8-ft ceilings offers excellent storage, workshop space, and future possibilities. Major improvements include updated windows, plumbing, roof, gutters, siding, chimney, insulation, efficient gas furnace, water heater, and fireplace.
