Discover the perfect house-hack or multi-generational living opportunity in Tacoma’s Fern Hill neighborhood. Beautifully remodeled, this home with an attached dwelling living like a duplex, giving you flexible options: live in one unit and rent the other, rent both, or keep loved ones close with separate, private spaces. The front unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 updated bathroom, its own washer/dryer hookups, luxury vinyl plank flooring, modern soft-close white cabinets, quartz counters, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A large front yard and driveway parking for 2 cars make it feel like its own standalone home.

With a newer roof, siding, gutters, and furnace, much of the heavy lifting is already done. All of this is centrally located just minutes from Fern Hill’s local shops, restaurants, parks, grocery options, and convenient commuter routes, making it highly attractive to both future tenants and owner-occupants alike.
