Showing off stunning waterfront views of Commencement Bay, the Port of Tacoma, and the city, this 1,763-square-foot home offers a unique opportunity in Old Town! Located at 2902 N 30th St Tacoma, WA 98407, this 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath home is listed for $685,000.

Not only does this home provide photo-worthy views, but you have stylish spaces to enjoy the scene from, both inside and out. But that’s just the beginning—we wanted to call special attention to 5 of this home’s not-to-miss highlights.

Read on to see how this standout Tacoma treasure shines!

1.Panoramic waterfront views.

We know we already mentioned this, but it’s really worth checking out in person to see how dreamy the setting really is. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch in the living room with a roaring fire or enjoying dinner in the dining area, you can take in the panoramic views of the water through an impressive wall of wrap-around windows. (This also means that the main living is always filled with rejuvenating natural light! Win, win!)

2. Hard-to-beat Old Town location.

At 2902 N 30th St Tacoma, WA 98407, you’re not only located right along bus lines, but you’re within half a mile of places like the Old Town Park, Starbucks, The Spar, Cooks Tavern, Rosewood Cafe, and more. Ruston Way is only 0.4 miles from home, making it easy to take advantage of the waterfront walkway, waterfront parks, and of course, iconic waterfront dining! You’re also just minutes to Stadium District, Proctor District, and Downtown Tacoma, ensuring that some of Tacoma’s best options for dining, entertainment, community events, and more are merely minutes away.

3. Beautiful updated kitchen.

Featuring rich espresso-hued cabinets, shimmering countertops, and sleek appliances, you’ll find top-notch fashion and function in this large, thoughtfully updated space. There’s even room for a center island if you desire one! Corner windows in the dining nook/kitchen area also conveniently show off views of Commencement Bay.

4. Fabulous outdoor amenities, including a huge patio!

The enviable outdoor patio makes it feel as though the shimmering Puget Sound is right at your fingertips—and that’s because it is! Imagine hosting summertime barbecues out here, or simply relaxing on a lounge chair as you enjoy the idyllic scene from your private perch. Plus, you get front row seats to 4th of July celebrations right from the comfort of home!


But that’s not all—opportunities for gardening are aplenty as well, and you can keep things simple or go all out with professional landscaping and cultivating the already-lush greenery. There’s also a sport court that’s ready for pick-up basketball games.

5. A workshop that makes the perfect getaway.

You’ll also find a workshop attached to the carport, and if you’ve been dreaming of having your own private work area, this spot provides the ideal getaway. It’s ready to be transformed into an art or music studio, a woodworking or craft area, or could even be transformed into a fitness center.
