About this home

9,100 SQ FT TACOMA LOT • FRONT & BACK STREET ACCESS • GREENBELT & STREAM. Bring your plans and explore the possibilities! This 9,100 sq. ft. residential lot offers a unique combination of city convenience and natural features, with a greenbelt and stream running alongside the property. What really sets this lot apart is street frontage on both the front and back, with the rear of the property accessed from a dead-end street—an interesting feature that may provide additional flexibility when planning your future home and property layout. Located on an established street with paved access and sidewalks, with TPU water, sewer and electricity in the street. A neighborhood park is just a block away, adding another great amenity to the location. Convenient to schools, shopping, dining, and commuter routes while still offering the character of a creek and greenbelt right next door. Whether you're a builder, investor, or looking for the site of your future home, this isn't your typical Tacoma city lot. Two-sided street frontage, nearby park, utilities available, and a beautiful natural backdrop make this one worth a look! Buyer to verify building feasibility, critical areas, utilities, setbacks, and development requirements.
