Set along a gently elevated stretch of the neighborhood with peekaboo views of the Tacoma cityscape, this classic Tacoma Craftsman — lovingly nicknamed the “Sunshine House” — is remembered as the place where the sun always seemed to shine a little brighter. On a spacious 7,800 SF lot, the property features a standout permitted 1,008 SF pole barn built in 2020, complete with a substantial concrete slab, RV-height, exceptional lighting, and three garage bays designed for larger projects, storage, and more. An additional 228 detached shop can be accessed from alleyway and fully fenced side yard. Rare flexibility throughout the home allows for a variety of living arrangements, with multiple bonus areas that can serve as additional bedrooms and more.
