Located in Tacoma’s Yakima neighborhood, this 4BD/2BA Victorian duplex presents a full rehabilitation opportunity for investors, builders, or buyers looking to create value from the ground up.

The home shows significant deferred maintenance, with visible wear to the exterior siding, roofing, and windows.
