Exceptional North Tacoma opportunity in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods! This 6,000 sq. ft. UR3-zoned lot with valuable alley access offers outstanding potential for both renovation and future redevelopment under Tacoma's evolving middle housing zoning regulations. The existing home provides a strong fixer-upper opportunity for buyers looking to restore or update, while the lot itself also presents excellent long-term value for builders, developers, or investors seeking to maximize one of the area's increasingly scarce infill sites. Ideally located just minutes from Ruston Way Waterfront, Point Defiance Park, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, this property offers flexibility, upside, and location all in one—an opportunity to secure a prime piece of North Tacoma in a market where options continue to diminish.

Solar-powered, fully remodeled, and full of possibility! This North Tacoma home is ready for its next chapter.

It lives like new construction with the character of a classic North Tacoma home. 5 bedrooms, an office, and 1.75 baths across two full living levels give you space that flexes with real life: multigenerational living, guest quarters, or room to spread out. The lower level includes its own kitchenette, adding privacy and function for extended family or long-term guests. That same lower-level kitchenette already supports ADU-style living, and the alley-accessed rear portion of the lot opens the door to a future DADU, a rare combination of built-in flexibility today, or investment opportunity down the road. Fully paid-off solar panels come with 21 years left on the warranty, meaning long-term energy savings from day one with nothing left to pay off. Just moments from Baltimore Park, with neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and markets nearby! All the charm of North Tacoma living, move-in ready.
