Wonderfully spacious and showing off vintage charm at every turn, this 1,872-square-foot bungalow in North Tacoma is ready for you to make it your own! In addition to 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, this home-sweet-home offers generous living areas, a large kitchen, and versatile space just waiting to be transformed. There’s even a sizable deck out back that overlooks a garden and a detached garage. Located at 830 N Fife St, Tacoma WA 98406 and just a couple of blocks to lively 6th Ave, this residence is listed for $445,000.

Built in 1919, this timeless home offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history. Brimming with character that offers a look into this home’s past, each room shows off unique details you’ll want to see for yourself. The spacious living room features built-ins, crisp trimwork, and eye-catching arches, and the layout seamlessly flows into the formal dining room. Natural light pours in through large windows, and here you have more than enough space to host a crowd. Bar-style counter seating offers another dining option, and the well-appointed kitchen is conveniently within reach from here.

Boasting a generous layout, the kitchen’s design makes use of each inch of space, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry promises abundant storage for kitchen essentials. Charming trim details above the windows hints at this home’s rich history, while modern amenities ensure efficiency. The kitchen garden is just steps away, and you could use the sunny back porch for plants (imagine growing your own fresh herbs!) or additional kitchen storage.

The main level also includes 2 bedrooms, and upstairs you’ll find the 3rd bedroom as well as a loft/flex space. Even more possibility awaits in the unfinished basement and detached garage—you can simply use the extra room for storage, or you could use the space as a hobby room, music or art studio, a play area or fitness center, etc.

In the backyard, a cute getaway is ready for a summer filled with al fresco dining, sunbathing, gardening, and of course, enjoying the pretty perennials. Host weekend barbecues where all of your loved ones are invited, or simply sit out on the deck reading a good book and enjoying the peace and quiet!
