Discover this storybook English Cottage in North Tacoma, just blocks from the University of Puget Sound. Steep gables, an arched entry, and timeless architectural details create a warm and memorable first impression. The main home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with spacious living and dining areas, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, and a classic fireplace. Large windows bring in natural light, and the layout provides a comfortable balance of openness and defined spaces. The kitchen blends function and charm with new stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and easy access to the dining area. A partially finished basement adds practical space with laundry, mechanicals, and room for storage, hobbies, or a home gym. The DADU offers valuable flexibility with its own bedroom and bathroom. Ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private guest space. Its proximity to UPS creates strong potential for consistent rental demand. Recent updates include a newer furnace, approximately 2 years old, a sewer line replaced about 10 years ago, and updated PEX plumbing throughout most of the main home and all of the DADU. The backyard offers apple trees and a mature grapevine, adding usable outdoor space with a sense of privacy. A rare opportunity to own a character home with income potential in one of North Tacoma’s most desirable neighborhoods.
