Conveniently tucked away on the first floor, this 905-square-foot condo unit is refreshed and ready for a new chapter! In addition to 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, this residence features inviting living space replete with soothing neutral tones. Enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle all while being in a wonderfully central location that’s less than 1 mile from grocery shopping, parks, Highway 16 and more. Located at 1003 S Pearl St, Unit B16 Tacoma, WA 98465, this unit is listed for $229,950.

Fresh paint helps this unit shine like new, and upgraded flooring has also just been installed, both of which offer pleasing design continuity throughout the main living spaces. In the living room, a blank canvas awaits your personal touch—paint an accent wall, hang up your favorite art, and enjoy having the space to arrange comfy furniture and decor. The layout flows right into the dining area, and from here the kitchen is easily within reach.

In the kitchen, a smart design ensures everything you need to whip up delicious homemade meals is right at your fingertips, yet you have enough space to spread out in. Large counters and generously sized cabinets promise flexibility and enough room for all of your kitchen essentials. And not only does the kitchen offer efficiency, but the warm color palette creates a welcoming atmosphere that you’re sure to delight spending time in.

The spacious fenced patio is just steps away, making it extra easy to enjoy outdoor dining and cocktail hour whenever the weather warms up or you need some fresh air. The patio is large enough that you can have a cute outdoor dining set, and you even have the space to enjoy container gardening if you’re looking for a way to put your green thumb to work!

Discover quiet relaxation in this unit’s 2 bedrooms. One bedroom includes an ensuite bath that boasts a pristine new tub and surrounding tile, so you can rejuvenate and unwind in style! If you have an extra room, you could easily transform it into a home office, a fitness center, a yoga sanctuary with a sunny meditation corner, and more. Additionally, find added flexibility with this corner unit’s private storage room, and parking that’s right outside the door.
