The Complete Property for Homeowners, Hobbyists, and Business Owners.

More Than a Home — A Private Estate Built for Living, Working, and Growing

Finding a property that truly offers space, flexibility, and opportunity has become increasingly rare in the Tacoma area. That’s exactly what makes 811 121st E such an exceptional offering.

Situated on over 2.1 fully fenced acres near Clover Creek, this one-of-a-kind property combines the timeless charm of a historic 1933 home with modern conveniences, extensive outbuildings, and outdoor amenities that are nearly impossible to duplicate today.

Whether you’re searching for room to expand your lifestyle, operate a home-based business, pursue your hobbies, store vehicles and equipment, or simply enjoy privacy with plenty of outdoor space, this remarkable estate delivers possibilities that few residential properties can match.

Historic Character Meets Modern Comfort

Built in 1933, the nearly 3,939-square-foot main residence showcases the craftsmanship and character that make historic homes so desirable while offering thoughtful updates that enhance everyday living.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the warmth of the original white oak hardwood floors, generous living spaces, and timeless architectural details that give the home its unique personality.

Modern improvements help preserve that charm while adding today’s comforts, including:

  • Spacious remodeled kitchen
  • Granite countertops
  • Updated bathrooms
  • Central air conditioning
  • Beautiful original white oak hardwood flooring

The result is a home that celebrates its history while providing the convenience today’s buyers expect.

Spacious Living Areas Designed for Everyday Life

With five bedrooms and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space, this home offers exceptional flexibility for households of all sizes.

The generous floor plan provides multiple gathering spaces where family and friends can comfortably come together while still offering quiet areas for work, study, or relaxation.

Whether you’re entertaining during the holidays, hosting weekend get-togethers, or simply enjoying peaceful evenings at home, every room contributes to a welcoming and functional living experience.

Large windows invite natural light throughout the home, creating bright, inviting spaces that feel both comfortable and connected.

A Beautifully Remodeled Kitchen at the Heart of the Home

The kitchen is often considered the centerpiece of any home, and this one is designed to bring everyone together.

Featuring granite countertops, abundant workspace, and a spacious layout, the remodeled kitchen offers everything needed for everyday cooking as well as larger gatherings.

Whether you’re preparing family meals, baking with loved ones, or entertaining guests, the thoughtful design makes cooking both enjoyable and practical.

The kitchen flows naturally into the surrounding living spaces, creating an inviting atmosphere for daily life.

Five Bedrooms Offering Flexibility for Every Lifestyle

With five generously sized bedrooms, this home easily adapts to your changing needs.

The additional bedrooms can comfortably serve as:

  • Guest rooms
  • Children’s bedrooms
  • Home offices
  • Fitness rooms
  • Hobby spaces
  • Creative studios

The home’s flexible layout allows buyers to customize the space to match their lifestyle today while providing room to grow in the future.

Updated Bathrooms with Modern Convenience

The home includes 1.75 bathrooms that have been tastefully updated while maintaining the property’s overall character.

These improvements offer the perfect balance between classic style and modern functionality, helping make everyday routines comfortable and efficient.

The Ultimate Shop for Collectors, Contractors & Hobbyists

Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of this property is the incredible 4,560-square-foot detached shop.

This isn’t simply a garage—it’s a dream workspace.

Designed to accommodate more than 20 vehicles, the building offers exceptional versatility for automotive enthusiasts, contractors, business owners, collectors, and anyone needing substantial storage or workshop space.

Features include:

  • Over 4,500 square feet
  • Seven bay doors
  • Two oversized RV doors
  • Separate gated entrance
  • Extensive workspace
  • Incredible storage capacity

Whether you’re restoring classic cars, operating a small business, storing recreational vehicles, maintaining equipment, or pursuing your favorite hobbies, opportunities like this rarely become available.

Properties offering commercial-quality shop space while maintaining residential comfort are incredibly uncommon throughout Pierce County.

Separate Building Perfect for a Home Business or Private Office

Adding even more flexibility is a detached 1,400-square-foot auxiliary building with its own private entrance.

Equipped with:

  • Multiple rooms
  • Three-quarter bathroom
  • Air conditioning
  • New furnace
  • New water heater
  • Minimal kitchen amenities

This detached space creates exciting possibilities for buyers seeking:

  • Home office
  • Business headquarters
  • Creative studio
  • Client meeting space
  • Multi-purpose workspace
  • Additional guest accommodations

Its private entrance provides excellent separation from the main residence while remaining conveniently located on the property.

Outdoor Space Designed to Enjoy Every Season

Stepping outside reveals why properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The 2.139-acre fully fenced property provides room to breathe while offering exceptional privacy and versatility.

Beautifully maintained grounds feature:

  • Expansive open grass fields
  • Professionally manicured landscaping
  • Established garden areas
  • Plenty of room for outdoor recreation
  • Additional parking opportunities

Whether you envision family gatherings, outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing in your own private setting, the property provides the space to make it happen.

Established Orchard and Garden Ready to Enjoy

Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the mature landscaping already established throughout the property.

The existing garden includes:

  • Four mature grape vines
  • Mature kiwi tree
  • Mature fig tree
  • Several mature cherry plum trees

Instead of starting from scratch, buyers can immediately enjoy the benefits of a productive garden while continuing to expand the landscape to suit their vision.

Your Own Private Saltwater Swimming Pool

Warm summer days become even more enjoyable thanks to the property’s fully fenced swimming pool area.

Designed for both recreation and relaxation, the pool includes:

  • Saltwater system
  • Pool heating system
  • Dedicated mechanical room
  • Fully fenced enclosure

Whether hosting family gatherings, entertaining guests, or simply cooling off after a long day, this private outdoor retreat creates lasting memories for years to come.

Convenient Tacoma Location Near Clover Creek

Although the property offers remarkable privacy and space, you’re never far from the conveniences that make daily life easier.

Located near Clover Creek, you’ll enjoy quick access to:

  • Shopping centers
  • Grocery stores
  • Local restaurants
  • Medical facilities
  • Parks and recreation
  • Major commuter routes

This balance of peaceful acreage and convenient city access is one of the property’s greatest advantages.

Close to JBLM for Military Buyers

Military families looking for additional space will immediately recognize the value this property offers.

Conveniently located within commuting distance of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), the estate is well suited for:

  • Active-duty military
  • PCS relocations
  • Veterans using VA home loans
  • Department of Defense employees
  • Military retirees seeking long-term flexibility

The combination of acreage, extensive shop space, detached office building, and convenient JBLM access creates opportunities that are difficult to find in today’s market.
