Thoughtfully updated, this 1945-built Tacoma treasure has been refreshed and yet still has many of its important vintage details intact. Comfortable, inviting, and brimming with charm, this 2,184-square-foot home transports you back in time in the best way possible! This home truly checks all the boxes—just a few of this home’s not-to-miss highlights include the stylish bathroom remodel, the period-perfect kitchen, the cheerful living room, sprawling square footage that offers versatility, the big backyard… and more! Located at 3139 S 19th Street Tacoma, WA 98405 in Central Tacoma, this vintage home with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath is listed for $445,000.

A sweet pathway leads up to this residence’s sunshine-yellow door, and this home-sweet-home’s eye-catching exterior is sure to inspire pride in ownership time and time again! From the moment you step inside, 1940s charm delights. Beautiful wood floors add to the living room’s warm and welcoming setting, while the fireplace promises instant coziness and a classic hearth to build your room around. Fresh paint both inside and out give this home that “like new” feel as well; move right in and make this haven truly your own.

In the absolutely adorable kitchen, 1940s character meets modern convenience. Have fun discovering details like open shelving, the tile counters and backsplash, the valance over the kitchen sink, and the bold flooring design that’s just right for the era!

On the main floor, a bright and cheerful bathroom remodel features pristine new subway tile, a new vanity with a spa-inspired aesthetic, and lighting design that sparkles with style. The main floor bedrooms provide spacious layouts and offer views into the backyard, and on the second level you’ll find a beautifully finished space (smart vinyl plank flooring was just installed!) ideal for a bedroom, playroom, office, or home gym.

Bring your imagination to this home’s freshly painted unfinished basement as well—this massive space could become an art or music studio, a rec room with pool and ping pong, or an epic fitness center. There’s room for it all! Even more potential is in the 2-car-garage, and in addition to garage parking this property includes parking for 4 more cars.

One of this property’s big benefits is its level and fenced backyard. There’s room for a DADU, plenty of space for your pets to roam, raised garden beds, and mature greenery. In the future, you could also build a deck, set up a play toy, and plant even more shrubs, trees, and flowers. The sky's the limit!
