From lovely views of Commencement Bay to a spacious 2,209-square-foot layout replete with updates, this move-in ready Old Town home offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not only do you get the chance to live in a 1906-built residence, but this home has been thoroughly updated to offer modern amenities. Plus, a fantastic location means you’re merely blocks from the waterfront, restaurants, shops, parks, and more! Located at 2420 N 31st St Tacoma, WA 98407, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is listed for $590,000.

Showcasing eye-catching curb appeal, this gem is a joy to arrive home to time and time again. A front deck not only offers an inviting welcome home, but provides a sunny spot to relax while you greet neighbors, host summertime barbecues, and visit with friends. As soon as you step in through the front door, this home’s warm atmosphere makes for a wonderful first impression. Unique elements like a round window, arched pass-through windows, a stately column accent, and more all characterize the space.

The layout flows right into the open kitchen, and here you’ll find an abundance of convenience. The smart design includes large counters, generous storage (including some open shelving), and sleek appliances that are all ready to offer ease and efficiency at your fingertips. But it’s not all business and no play—stylish details like an intricate tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a sparkling chandelier infuse the space with fashion as well. An adjacent desk area is within reach from here, and a formal dining room around the corner makes is easy to host guests no matter the occasion.

This home’s comfortable main floor also includes one bedroom plus a ¾ bath. The second floor features the master bedroom and its ensuite bath. Discover a haven of rest and relaxation in the master suite—not only will you find a spacious layout with cozy carpets, but exquisite details like a huge arched window and a recessed wall accent that frames the bed’s headboard make this room shine with style. Luxurious elements also await in the ensuite bath, from double sinks to tons of cabinet storage. Additionally, a huge walk-in closet with a built-in storage system makes it easy to move right in and start unpacking right away!

The home’s finished basement provides even more living space, giving you versatility in use. Transform any extra square footage into a guest suite, an entertainment center, an office or library, a hobby area, a fitness center, etc. Even more flexibility can be enjoyed in the double garage.

Those who enjoy gardening are truly in for a treat as well—in the low-maintenance, fully fenced backyard, you’ll find incredible potential for putting your green thumb to work. Not only is this outdoor oasis the perfect scene for entertaining, but rock-lined flower beds that feature mature greenery are ready to blossom with new life!
