Set along a gently elevated stretch of the neighborhood with peekaboo views of the Tacoma cityscape, this classic Tacoma Craftsman — lovingly nicknamed the “Sunshine House” — is remembered as the place where the sun always seemed to shine a little brighter. On a spacious 7,800 SF lot, the property features a standout permitted 1,008 SF pole barn built in 2020, complete with a substantial concrete slab, RV-height, exceptional lighting, and three garage bays designed for larger projects, storage, and more. An additional 228 detached shop can be accessed from alleyway and fully fenced side yard. Rare flexibility throughout the home allows for a variety of living arrangements, with multiple bonus areas that can serve as additional bedrooms and more. Main floor offers 2 bedrooms, full bathroom finished in striking honey-onyx tile, updated kitchen and bonus room with 3/4 bath and exterior access. Excellent potential for multi-generational living, or private apartment. Upstairs includes 1 bedroom, half bath, and more bonus space. All appliances stay including garage freezer. Additional updates include pellet stove, new roof in 2020 and exterior paint in 2025. Fully fenced yard and beautiful landscaping. Roosevelt Arterial Improvements and SRTS projects are just wrapping up! Neighborhood improvements designed to create a more beautiful, walkable, and bike-friendly community. Convenient location with a short commute to the city, freeway access, and walking distance to schools.
