About this property

Some homes are finished for you. Others give you the space, character, and opportunity to create something distinctly your own. This 1912 Tacoma Craftsman offers three bedrooms, a functional layout, a generous yard, and the kind of flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in 98409. Inside, original character and comfortable living spaces provide a welcoming foundation for thoughtful updates. Refresh the finishes, personalize each room, and bring your vision to life over time. A newer house roof adds meaningful value while allowing you to focus on the improvements that matter most to you. Outside, the spacious lot invites gardens, gatherings, outdoor projects, or a private retreat designed around everyday living. The oversized detached garage is a standout feature, offering room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, a workshop, or possible future ADU conversion. Buyer to verify ADU feasibility and permitting requirements with the City of Tacoma. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, transit, and major Tacoma commute routes, this home keeps daily essentials within easy reach. Bring your creativity, explore the possibilities, and imagine what this S Alder Street Craftsman could become.
