Solar-powered, fully remodeled, and full of possibility! This North Tacoma home is ready for its next chapter. Every inch of this 2,772 sq ft home has been reimagined floor to ceiling, with new systems, clean modern finishes, and light-filled rooms throughout. 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.
