More Than a Home — A Property Built for Living, Working, and Creating
Finding a home that offers character, space, and a true workshop setup is becoming increasingly difficult in Tacoma. That’s what makes 7640 Yakima Ave such a unique opportunity.
This well-maintained two-story Craftsman offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 1,588 square feet of living space, combining original architectural charm with modern updates and an exceptional detached garage that is difficult to find in today’s market.
Situated on a spacious 10,500-square-foot double lot, this property provides room to live, work, store, and enjoy.
Timeless Craftsman Character with Modern Updates
From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the details that make Craftsman homes so desirable.
High ceilings create an open and airy feel, while original Craftsman features preserve the home’s historic charm and personality.
Recent improvements help blend classic style with modern comfort, including:
-
Fresh interior paint
-
New carpet
-
Updated lighting and fixtures
-
New heating units
-
Updated kitchen features
👉 The result is a home that feels both timeless and move-in ready.
Spacious Living Areas Designed for Everyday Life
The functional floor plan provides plenty of room to spread out and enjoy daily living.
The home features:
-
Inviting living spaces
-
Large dining room
-
Spacious kitchen
-
Separate laundry room
Whether you’re hosting family gatherings, enjoying a quiet evening at home, or working remotely, the layout provides flexibility and comfort.
👉 Every room was designed with practicality in mind while maintaining the home’s original character.
A Kitchen with Space to Gather
The large kitchen serves as the heart of the home and offers ample room for cooking, storage, and entertaining.
With generous workspace and an easy flow into the dining area, the kitchen creates a comfortable environment for everyday meals and special occasions alike.
👉 Buyers looking for functionality will appreciate the space and layout this kitchen provides.
Comfortable Bedrooms and Flexible Space
The home offers three bedrooms that can easily accommodate a variety of lifestyles.
Whether you need:
-
Guest accommodations
-
A home office
-
Hobby space
-
Additional bedrooms for family
The floor plan provides flexibility to fit your needs.
👉 The layout allows buyers to adapt the home as their lifestyle changes over time.
The Standout Feature: A Detached 3-Car Shop Garage
One of the most impressive aspects of this property is the detached three-car garage.
This isn’t just a place to park vehicles.
The garage includes:
-
Air conditioning
-
Heated floors
-
Half bathroom
-
Plumbing for an air-compressor system
-
Extensive storage space
-
Workshop potential
Whether you’re a mechanic, contractor, woodworker, collector, hobbyist, or simply need extra space, this garage offers possibilities that are rarely available in residential properties.
👉 Properties with workshop-ready garages like this are incredibly hard to find in Tacoma.
Expansive Double Lot with Room to Grow
Situated on a level 10,500-square-foot double lot, the property offers a tremendous amount of outdoor space.
The yard features:
-
Newly established grass
-
Mature trees for privacy
-
Space for gardening
-
Room for recreation
-
Potential additional parking
-
Areas for entertaining
👉 The size and usability of the lot create opportunities that many city properties simply cannot offer.
Convenient Tacoma Location
Location remains one of the strongest features of this home.
You’ll enjoy quick access to:
-
Shopping centers

Restaurants
-
Grocery stores
-
Everyday services
-
Major highway connections
This central Tacoma location makes commuting and daily errands simple and convenient.

-
Active-duty service members
-
PCS relocations
-
Veterans utilizing VA home loans
-
Civilian employees working on base
👉 The combination of workshop space, a large lot, and convenient JBLM access creates a rare opportunity for military buyers seeking long-term flexibility.

Modern updates

Large double lot
-
Detached 3-car garage
-
Heated garage floors
-
