This stately property in Tacoma's North Slope Historic District holds 4 units including a gracious main floor that's a complete home in itself. Built by the Cornell Brothers who also built the Elks Temple and First Presbyterian, this is an opportunity to live in a home full of history and character with rental income for support. Open the front door from the wraparound porch into an apartment spanning the entire main level. Oak hardwoods and a rounded bay window bring beauty to the living room, while the dining room is replete with original millwork from box beam ceilings to paneled walls and built-ins. The commercial style, eat-in kitchen creates contrast with its concrete counters and SubZero fridge. With 2 bedrooms, a bonus room, 2 baths, and a back deck overlooking the garden, there's room to live, work and host. The 2nd floor's 1-bed, 1-bath units are both occupied and generating income. The basement studio is vacant. Updates include a new roof and exterior paint in 2025 and a new boiler in 2023. Near parks, pubs, cafes and light rail.
