This vintage Tacoma treasure offers so much more than what initially meets the eye! Behind that classic brick exterior awaits an incredible 2,768-square-foot layout that boasts 5 bedrooms, 2.25 baths, spacious living areas, a large kitchen, and a huge unfinished basement. Not only will you find a newer roof, new carpet, freshly refinished hardwoods and more among the smart updates, but these modern amenities rest alongside vintage elements that give this home its charming character. You’ll also find an attached garage and a huge fenced yard in the mix. Located at 1917 N Ferdinand St Tacoma, WA 98406 and tucked right in between Proctor and Westgate, this 1957-built gem is listed for $415,000.

Showcasing a white picket fence and a darling stone path leading up to the front door, those who enjoy gardening are sure to cherish the opportunity to bring the yard to life with greenery and vibrant flowers. Once you step in through the front door, the living room does not disappoint—rich refinished hardwoods, recessed ceiling details, and a traditional brick-accented fireplace that couldn’t be more perfect for the holiday season all offer a picture-perfect scene for you to decorate.
The spacious layout flows right into the formal dining room, where crisp white trim delights the eye and large corner windows fill the space with natural light. Take advantage of having a special haven for entertaining in—elaborate Thanksgiving feasts and festive birthday parties alike are sure to be right at home here! Find the expansive kitchen easily within reach and with a generous layout replete with efficiency. Not only do you have ample cabinetry for storage, but huge counters mean you have tons of room for baking and whipping up homemade meals! Chef-ready stainless steel appliances make preparation and cooking all the more enjoyable, and the bright dining nook is ready for enjoying a laid-back morning cup of coffee or casual meals.

One of this home’s many highlights is its palatial, versatile square footage. Comfort and privacy await in the 5 bedrooms, and if you have an extra room or a few, you can transform the space into that fitness center, hobby room, or art studio you’ve always wanted! The sprawling unfinished basement is especially ripe with potential, and you’ll even find a fireplace tucked away here. You could renovate the space into a den or a hangout with an entertainment center, and still have tons of additional space in the basement to use as storage, a guest suite, and more.

In the fenced backyard, a long list of possibilities await on the horizon. Dreaming of creating a sanctuary of entertaining, or cultivating a garden overflowing with flowers? You’ll find room for a patio or deck, beautiful landscaping, a play toy for little ones, or all of the above!
