Cute, move-in ready, and easy to love! This rambler is a great place to build equity and put down roots of your own. Inside, you’ll find plenty of style with beautiful laminate flooring, updated windows and a kitchen with butcher block counters and an eat-in bar, plus room to add your own personal touches. The attached garage and tankless water heater add everyday convenience, while the huge, level backyard gives you plenty of room to enjoy life outside. Gather around the fire pit, hang out under the gazebo, garden, play or simply enjoy all that space. The home and sewer have already been pre-inspected for you. Plus, you’re close to local favorites like Top of Tacoma, Dusty’s Hideaway and Beware Coffee, along with the Lincoln District, Stewart Heights Park and Eastside Community Center. This is a smart home purchase to live, gather & grow while building something of your own.

What’s Nearby

Beware Coffee is the neighborhood coffee shop on McKinley, a calm, roomy spot for espresso, tea, and house-made syrups. Local art on the walls and a 4.9-star reputation make it an easy morning stop. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 7 to 3.

Dusty's Hideaway is the Craftsman house turned bar and burger joint up on McKinley Hill, all vintage-cowboy vibe inside with a good patio in summer. The Hot Honey Chicken has a following, and it's all-ages until 9.

Stewart Heights Park and Wapato Park are two South End green spaces worth knowing. Stewart Heights, on E 56th, packs in a skate park, ball fields, pickleball courts, a playground, and a big outdoor pool, while Wapato wraps 85 acres of lake and forest with a paved loop, a historic pergola, and a dog park.

Top of Tacoma is the casual neighborhood bar and cafe on McKinley Ave, open since 2007 and known for some of the city's best tacos. Cold beer on tap, burgers and vegetarian options, and walls covered in local art, skate photos, and a legendary Rainier can collection. Open late, seven days.

The Lincoln District is the South End's international business district around S 38th and Yakima, packed with independent, immigrant-owned cafes and restaurants from across the globe. It comes alive for Lunar New Year and the district's street markets.

Eastside Community Center is the 55,000-square-foot Metro Parks rec center on E 56th, with a pool, a full gym and indoor track, weight and cardio rooms, and group fitness. There's also a social hall, classrooms, a recording studio, a commercial kitchen, and a café.
