Property Description
Rare Fircrest fixer opportunity in a highly desirable residential neighborhood. Ideal for investors, builders, or buyers ready to take on a full renovation project with significant upside. Situated on an approximately 8,245 sq ft lot, this property offers the chance to reimagine, rebuild, or completely transform the existing structure in a community known for strong long-term home values. The 1953 home requires a full renovation and currently has no kitchen, making this a true project property. With approximately 4 bedrooms, 1 bath, and ~1,800 sq ft plus a partially finished basement, every surface awaits renewal. A new roof has already been installed, providing a valuable head start for the next owner. Fireplace and attached garage provide a starting point for those ready to bring vision and a contractor. Located on a quiet street in the sought-after Fircrest community, close to parks, schools, local amenities, and convenient access to Tacoma and University Place. Opportunities like this are rare in Fircrest for those looking to create value through renovation or redevelopment. Use extreme caution when touring. Missing deck rails, exposed electrical, and incomplete interior spaces present safety hazards. Sold AS IS. Roof replaced, new gutters installed: September 2022 Chimney rebuilt: November 2025. Cash or renovation financing likely required. This listing allows overlapping appointments. Seller will stick to offer review date.
