Craftsman Bungalow was constructed in 1915 by Ambrose Southwell, a prominent local builder who ran his business from the adjacent Foursquare. He included many special touches in this home, including box beam ceilings, pocket doors, wainscotting and a built-in buffet. Current owners made extensive mechanical & cosmetic updates, including replumbing, rewiring (no knob and tube!), high quality Milgard windows, and a brand new gas furnace. Comfortable floor plan, with large living space & 1/2 bath on the main floor + 3 beds upstairs & a sunroom that captures morning light. Single car garage (w/ opener) is attached via a covered breezeway. A compact courtyard provides outdoor space for dining or pets and the covered front porch is the perfect place for launching adventures in North Tacoma. From here, you're no more than 4 blocks from Jefferson Park, the University of Puget Sound, Valhalla Coffee, Expand Yoga and Sushi Tama.
