Nestled on a corner lot just down the street from University of Puget Sound and blocks to the Proctor District, this 1,512-square-foot North Tacoma gem is ready for a new chapter! Featuring charming 1940s craftsmanship like coved ceilings, eye-catching arches, and oak floors, this home offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history. In addition to 4 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, spacious living areas await your personal touch, and a private fenced yard is yours to cultivate. Located at 3621 N 18th St Tacoma, WA 98406, this home-sweet-home is listed for $399,500.

Classic charm and rejuvenating natural light characterize this residence’s inviting living spaces, and as soon as you step in through the front door, the relaxing haven beckons. In the spacious living room, you can lean into this home’s 1940s origins and decorate with a vintage-inspired aesthetic or embrace the latest trends—this beauty will shine either way! The layout flows right into the dining room, a sunny space that’s perfect for gathering. You have plenty of room for a full-sized dining table, and dinner parties, special occasions, holiday get-togethers, and laidback meals any day of the week are all at home here.

The large kitchen is easily within reach, and a smart design offers abundant storage options. In addition to generous cabinetry, spacious counters provide lots of room for meal prep, and all appliances conveniently stay with the home.

On the main level you’ll also find 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry porch (with extra room for storing household essentials), and upstairs there are 2 additional bedrooms and a ¾ bath. If you have an extra room (or a few), you might decide to use the flexible square footage as a home office, a fitness center, a hobby room, an art or music studio, etc.

The fenced backyard features the same wonderful potential, and mature greenery surrounds this picturesque retreat. Grill up dinner on the patio, sunbathe in peace and quiet, and spend tranquil afternoons gardening and tending to plants. You can easily choose to keep things simple and low maintenance, but you also have the space to make your ultimate vision of home a reality! There’s room to expand the patio, build a deck, create a vegetable garden, add in landscaping, and more. Additionally, a detached garage/workshop offers even more space for hobbies and storage.

Living in North Tacoma

At 3621 N 18th St Tacoma, WA 98406, you’re just down the street from North Union Ave and the University of Puget Sound campus. Another major perk of this location is the close proximity to the historic Proctor District—you’re only 0.4 miles to Metropolitan Market and Safeway, and other Proctor amenities are not far beyond. Places like Top Pot Doughnuts, Cactus Proctor, Europa Bistro, Pomodoro Restaurant, Viva Tacoma, Compass Rose Tacoma, The Pacific Northwest Shop, Chalet Bowl, Rudy’s Barbershop, and much more are all close by. Having quick access to Union Ave also makes it easy to get around the rest of the city, and Highway 16 is only 5 minutes away.
