Built in 1929, this North Tacoma treasure represents an excellent example of Tudor-style architecture, and details both inside and out delight. From beautifully appointed living areas to this home’s 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, each space has been lovingly maintained over the years.

Located at 1217 N G Street Tacoma, WA 98403, this 3,124-square-foot Tacoma Tudor is listed for $999,500. 

This home’s picture-perfect exterior shows off the type of curb appeal that inspires a double take! Lush established landscaping, dramatic roof lines, gorgeous brick, and artistic trimwork all give this residence a storybook feel. And once you step inside through the front door, you won’t be disappointed! Natural light pours in through Anderson windows in the living and dining rooms to shine the spotlight on oak floors, and original mahogany woodwork and built-ins. A grand fireplace anchors the timeless scene, while offering instant ambiance to gatherings.

Those who love to host are in for a treat—this home was certainly designed with entertaining in mind! An elegant archway leads into the dining room, where special occasions and more formal affairs are just as at home as laid-back meals any day of the week. Doors from the dining room open up onto the oversized deck for indoor-outdoor living perfection; enjoy meals outside in the fresh air whenever the sun comes out! This sprawling outdoor retreat is perched above Tacoma’s historic Old Town neighborhood, and you can take in the views that stretch across shimmering Commencement Bay and on toward the majestic Olympic Mountains in the distance.

In the stunning kitchen, classic design that compliments this home’s overall aesthetic awaits, while thoroughly modern amenities promise top-notch efficiency. Details like marble counters, neat trimwork, and windowed cabinet doors delight, while stainless steel appliances are at the ready. A charming breakfast nook is at your fingertips as well; have fun decorating and styling the open shelving here!

Even more living space is just a few steps down in the generous family room. One of this home’s best features is the fact that it offers so much flexible square footage; a total of 3 bedrooms are ready to be brought to life with your unique vision as well. The upstairs primary bedroom provides a huge layout with room for a sitting area or office space, and a walk-out deck boasts big views!

A full bath is awash with rejuvenating sunlight, and you’ll also find the 2nd bedroom with access to a fabulous finished attic 3rd bedroom. Here, the water view gets even better! Additionally a large bonus room awaits in the basement that would make a great home office, recreation area, home gym, hobby room, or 4th bedroom.
