Sarah and Brandon have lived in this area for the last 5 years. “We couldn’t have been happier having this as our first home,” says Sarah. “The charm of the original Craftsman touches was what first sparked our interest – we have found so much more to love about the home and area over the years. The updated kitchen is fabulous and the morning sunlight from the East facing windows is perfect for sipping coffee with the morning paper!”
The neighborhood’s proximity to so many parks make it a favorite for walkers all over Tacoma. “We have enjoyed our Sunday morning walks to the neighborhood coffee shop!” says Brandon.
