About this property

Welcome to historic Steilacoom, Washington's first incorporated town, with territorial firsts that include its first jail, sawmill & public library. This property rests within the Historic District, just around the corner from the ferry terminal carrying islanders, wanderers & daily commuters to Anderson & Ketron, with a cute coffee shop, local watering hole & freshly renewed neighborhood park right across the street. Steilacoom is not short on historical charm, water views, established gardens, uncrowded streets or places to wander. The Historic District is easily strollable, with access to green space for walks, nearby Sunnyside Beach Park for saltwater swimming, sunbathing, play or a casual volleyball match with friends. The original 1890 home still sits on the property along with its old detached carriage house/garage, but the site is well suited for its next chapter. By code and ordinance, the property has the right to be developed with up to three total dwelling units, whether as a primary home with ADU/DADU options or other allowed configurations. The Town of Steilacoom has also confirmed the ability to rebuild within the setbacks of the existing structures, giving this lot more usable buildable area than a typical similar-sized lot. Buyer to verify final design, permitting & Historic District requirements. History, location, flexibility & future potential all meet here. We have supplemental materials to share along that line, so come take a closer look today.
