The yard is the star of the show here, and it does not disappoint. Situated on an oversized 11,119 sq ft corner lot in Tacoma's Fern Hill neighborhood, this 2-bed/1-bath home is built for the way Pacific Northwesterners actually live. The centerpiece of the outdoor space is a massive covered patio with dedicated grill space and a mini fridge — plenty of room to host, relax, and entertain all summer long. The fully fenced yard provides privacy and room to roam, while an automatic gate adds a layer of security and convenience rarely found at this price point. The home also features exterior-access loft storage for bonus organization space, plus a detached 1-car garage. Inside, the 872 sq ft layout punches above its weight with a recently renovated kitchen and updated bathroom, delivering a move-in ready feel with modern finishes. Single-story living, a low-maintenance footprint, and an outdoor setup that most homes twice the size can't match. Come summer, you'll never want to leave.
