About 1245 S Fernside Drive

Perched in the coveted Narrowmoor neighborhood on Tacoma’s West Slope, this mid-century gem blends timeless architectural character with sweeping panoramic views. Don't miss this rare opportunity... Positioned on a quiet street minutes from parks, shopping, and freeways, the home offers breathtaking vistas of the Tacoma Narrows, the Olympic Mountains, and vibrant PNW sunsets. Feel peace of mind with a recent roof (2025), and central air conditioning for year-round comfort. The main floor showcases classic mid-century craftsmanship with original hardwood flooring, coved ceilings, and arched doorways. Relax in the inviting living room, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, or gather in the bright, cheery kitchen illuminated by a central skylight. Upstairs features two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath (tub was removed so space is there to replace), elevated views, and a lighted, easy-access attic for storage. The lower level rec room with its own fireplace, 3/4 bath, and den serves as the ultimate guest, teen, or in-law suite. Extending from the street above and to the street below across a rare 1/3+ acre lot, the property boasts professionally sculpted landscapes, expansive outdoor living spaces, and an impressive, nearly 1,000-sq-ft garage/shop setup. Large washed aggregate driveway from back (on Aurora) for plenty of guest parking. With substantial lot space left for future expansion, this home perfectly combines mid-century soul with modern upgrades and endless potential.
