About this House
A Rare 4.19-acre development opportunity in Pierce County with brand-new Middle Housing Zoning (effective 2025). This forward-thinking zoning from the Pierce County Planning Department opens the door to a wide spectrum of housing types, including detached single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, cottage-yard apartments, townhouses, and smaller courtyard-style buildings with density of 8-16 units per acresPerfect for builders, investors, or owner-occupants seeking flexible options—units can be rented or owner-occupied. These smaller, efficient homes use less land, cost less to build, heat, and maintain, making homeownership more attainable.Property includes a 40’ x 70’ shop plus two 20’ x 40’ buildings—ideal for storage, workshops, or future project support. An existing home is on-site, but of little value, emphasizing land and development potential.This is a true “once-in-a-generation” parcel where new zoning meets ready infrastructure and outbuildings. Don’t miss your chance to capitalize on Pierce County’s latest housing solutions. Sewer is in the street, Gas, power, and water on the property. Buyer must verify all information including zoning, zoning variables, sewer, water & power available for chosen use.
