Built in 1915 and still showcasing much of its original charm, this 1,776-square-foot treasure offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history! In addition to vintage elements throughout, you’ll also find smart upgrades that provide modern convenience. Located at 1617 N 9th Tacoma, WA 98403 and merely blocks from 6th Ave attractions, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence is listed for $375,000.
Eye-catching curb appeal is sure to inspire pride in ownership each time you arrive home, and vibrant red accents add an attractive pop of color alongside the crisp white trimwork. As soon as you step in through the front door, this home’s warm and welcoming atmosphere envelopes you in simple elegance, and an open staircase, a sunny window seat, neat white trim, gorgeous hardwoods, and a tasteful neutral color palette set the scene. The living area flows right into the formal dining room, and original built-ins not only offer extra storage but show off the ideal space to display plants, treasured dishware, framed photos, and more. Host holiday gatherings and special occasions with ease!
The kitchen is right around the corner, and a new stainless steel sink and quartz counters lend an industrial vibe to the dynamic scene. Not only does the kitchen offer a large layout, but generous storage options make it easy to stay organized. Plus, a cute bistro nook offers a laid-back spot to enjoy your morning coffee at.
Journey upstairs to discover this home’s 2 bedrooms, each a sizeable retreat with a spacious, updated bath. Each haven of comfort offers plenty of room to spread out in, ample natural light, and the same timeless aesthetic that characterizes the main living area. The bath is a delightful blend of old and new, with handy built-ins and fresh, modern convenience all at your fingertips.
In the partially finished basement you’ll discover even more flexible square footage, and there’s storage, a flex room (perfect for a fitness center!), and a shop area. You can choose to keep things simple and as is, or you might decide to finish the basement and use it as an extra living space.
Even more potential awaits with this home’s outdoor area. A deck and private patio are absolutely a dream for those who love to entertain or spend time out in the fresh air, and you can transform this cute space into the ultimate outdoor getaway. Add in a couple of flower baskets, some firefly lights, and some comfy outdoor furniture, and you’ll be ready to host barbecues and evenings of al fresco dining in no time! There’s also a covered parking area for your convenience.
