About This Home

As of November 2023

Rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained 4 bedrm house in a secluded neighborhood in West Tacoma. Very little turnover in this hidden community right by St. Charles. First time on the market - the owner has lived here for 53 years. As you visit this 1969 solidly built home, you will immediately notice the house has been well cared for both inside & out. Many updates including new deck, new furnace and heat pump as well as tastefully remodeled bathrms & kitchen. The large 4th bedrm downstairs has 2 doors & could easily be converted to a 5th. A turnkey home in a quiet neighborhood with no HOA, minutes to schools, shopping, restaurants, freeway, Chamber’s Bay, TCC, parks and Titlow beach. Home inspection, sewer scoping done in August.
