Kelli Jo Hjalseth • December 12, 2023

Surrounded by top Tacoma amenities and attractions, this move-in ready home in the Wedge District offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history! Built in 1925, this Tacoma treasure is right alongside other historic homes and landmarks. Not only is the Wedge District filled with vintage character, but you’re in close proximity to other destination neighborhoods, transit, dining, shopping, and more. Featuring a 1,425-square-foot layout that includes 3 bedrooms and 1.25 baths, this residence is the ideal starter home—move right in on day one and make it your own! Located at 1419 S 5th Street Tacoma, WA 98405, this Tacoma home is listed for $449,999.

Classic charm delights and offers eye-catching curb appeal, and the covered front porch welcomes you home. Just in through the front door, the living room retreat beckons! Gleaming oak floors and an electric fireplace set the scene; bring this haven of gathering to life with your own personal aesthetic in the years to come. Cozy up here on chilly winter nights, and enjoy the flexibility of also having a heat pump for both heating and cooling, as well as convection heaters, so you can stay comfy no matter the season.

From here, the layout flows into the dining area and adjacent kitchen, which has been refreshed and shows off beautiful granite counters and sleek appliances with a modern design. The kitchen’s smart layout truly makes the most of the space, and the dining area is ideal for intimate dinners, game nights, and hanging out with friends.

One of the top perks of this home awaits with all of the versatile square footage that’s ready to be transformed. The main floor bedroom and ¾ bath would make the perfect primary bedroom setup, and the stairway leads to the upper 2 bedrooms and half bath. A large laundry room is in the mix as well, and don’t miss the basement with plenty of room for storage.

Low-maintenance outdoor spaces ensure that you don’t have to spend your weekends on yard work, and yet you still have a cute getaway to enjoy fresh air. A patio off the back of the home can be infused with new life come spring; imagine sprucing the space up with comfy patio furniture, a string of lights, and garden pots overflowing with flowers. Plus, the front yard offers opportunity for putting your green thumb to work as well, whether you’d like to design landscaping to add to the curb appeal, or plant veggies and wildflowers in the raised garden beds.
