About this home

Hello Beautiful! Built in 1950 original aesthetic combines with current finishes to make a comfortable home with plenty of "flair". Set well above street level, expansive windows and decks provide territorial and water views. Main floor provides several living and dining options with many updates-kitchen remodel, refinished hardwoods, newer carpet and interior paint. A backyard covered carport and patio provide some convenience and shade on warmer days. 3 bedrooms upstairs including primary with walk-in closet and ensuite. A "bonus" upper level deck can be accessed by all 3 bedrooms. Well maintained gardens surround the home that both you and the birds can enjoy. A rare Tacoma 2-car attached garage completes this package wrapped in a bow.

Urban Residential District

This district is intended primarily for residential development including a range of dwellings and housing types reasonably compatible with the scale (size, width and height) of detached houses and reflecting residential patterns such as pedestrian orientation, yards, and space between buildings. Buildings may occupy a little more of each residential lot than in the UR-1 District. Other compatible uses include residential businesses and community facilities including parks, schools and religious facilities. The district is characterized by low to moderate activity levels, limited vehicular traffic, trees and other green features, and complete streets supporting transportation choices. The UR-2 District is generally located within easy walking distance of Centers, Corridors, parks and/or schools.
