Craftsman Updated to Perfection Tacoma’s South End

April Adams • April 21, 2026

From the remodeled kitchen and sundrenched living spaces to the detached 3-car garage and big backyard, this Craftsman in Tacoma’s South End has been updated to perfection! Featuring a 1,396-square-foot layout that includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and stylish living spaces, this home-sweet-home is ready to capture your heart. Time spent at home is an absolute delight, and you’re also no more than 5 minutes from Interstate-5, grocery shopping, dining, coffeeshops, parks, and schools. Located at 509 S 54th Street Tacoma, WA 98408, this Craftsman is listed for $525,000.

Perched on a sidewalk-lined street, this home’s eye-catching curb appeal offers just a hint of what awaits inside. From the charming front porch you can admire views of Mt. Rainier, and from the moment you open the front door, this home’s calm neutral color palette and contemporary aesthetic awaits. Details like beautiful tile work, quartz countertops, and double-pane windows throughout the home elevate each space—move into this turnkey treasure and infuse every corner with your unique personal style! Additional upgrades include a newer roof for peace of mind and lasting value, and you’ll also find thoughtfully chosen quality finishes throughout. 

A sleek and modern fireplace anchors the living room, serving as the focal point and adding instant coziness to relaxation and hangouts. Luxury vinyl plank flooring unfolds into a sunlit dining area and adjacent kitchen, where bar-style seating at the counter expands your possibilities even more. Expertly remodeled, the pristine kitchen shows off new cabinetry, an oversized stainless steel sink, and a suite of updated appliances, including a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and a range with a striking stainless steel hood. 

Find flexibility on the main level with a bedroom (which would also make a fantastic office!) and a full bathroom. 2 more sizable bedrooms boast generous square footage, so you can create the primary suite you’ve been dreaming about, and even have room for a rec room or hobby room. Even more versatility beckons from the detached 3-car garage, and here, you can really let your imagination soar. You finally have room for parking, projects, and storage, while a finished and heated office/bonus space is ideal for a home office, art studio, and more. Bring your ideas and aspirations!

The fully fenced, low-maintenance yard is complete with underground sprinklers that keep things looking lush. Relax on the patio in peace and quiet, sunbathe and bask in the sun in privacy all summer long, and spend afternoons gardening to your heart’s content. There’s also plenty of room for pets, play, and lawn games at your next BBQ!
