Timeless charm meets modern comfort in this beautifully updated 1898 Tacoma classic situated on an oversized corner lot in the heart of the McKinley neighborhood. Step through the covered front porch and into a grand entryway where the original wood staircase with turned balusters sets the tone for the character found throughout this home. Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a flowing floor plan make this home live wonderfully large, with spacious living and dining rooms that open effortlessly to one another. The updated kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stylish stone tile backsplash, and a generous walk-in pantry. Upstairs you’ll find bright, well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled bathroom with dual vanities and contemporary fixtures. A cozy bonus room with a fireplace provides the perfect space to unwind. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard retreat complete with a patio entertaining area and lush lawn, all complemented by a detached garage offering valuable storage and workshop space. Nestled on a prominent corner lot just steps from the vibrant McKinley Hill district — Top of Tacoma, Dusty’s Hideaway, and local favorites — with downtown, the waterfront, and freeway access all just minutes away. Historic character, thoughtful updates, and a location that can’t be beat!
