Sharon Benson • June 14, 2021

Spectacular views of Commencement Bay, mountains, and city lights await at every turn from this custom 4,222-square-foot home that offers 3 levels of dynamic, easy living! This one-of-a-kind residence provides incredible opportunity both inside and out—an exquisite backyard showcases a picture-perfect getaway, while this home’s impressive amenities ensure there’s room to grow. A total of 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths, and one ¾ bath are yours to transform, while light-filled living spaces, a guest suite with a second kitchen, and a double car garage are also included. Located at 2922 N 33rd St Tacoma, WA 98407 in Tacoma’s Old Town neighborhood and wonderfully close to the Ruston Way Waterfront, this home is listed for $1,200,000.

A stunning entryway offers a memorable first impression as soon as you step in through the front door—sunlight cascades in through a large skylight overhead, and the layout guides you right into a living area. Here, even more skylights await and are large enough to offer views of the clouds passing by overhead, and you can relax by the fireplace while catching up on your favorite TV shows. A built-in entertainment center offers abundant open shelving that’s ideal for displaying framed photos and treasured keepsakes.

From here the layout unfolds into another living area where huge picture windows frame breathtaking views of Commencement Bay. The unobstructed views only get better when you step outside onto the deck that conveniently expands your living space as well! Even more notable views await in the adjacent library—discover quiet refuge with built-in bookcases for your extensive book collection. Rejuvenating natural light offers an ideal atmosphere for relaxation and reading, and this space would also make a lovely art or music studio!

A haven of entertaining perfection awaits with the kitchen, dining area, and formal dining room. The spacious, updated kitchen is brimming with cabinet storage, and a smart design ensures this space lends itself well to both whipping up elaborate feasts and baking marathons where everyone gets involved! (Plus, all kitchen appliances stay.) Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in the casual dining area, and host special occasions in the formal dining room. Vibrant stained glass artwork offers a captivating centerpiece, and shimmering natural light allows this contemporary space to shine with timeless elegance.

On the upper level, an indulgent retreat awaits with the master suite. This resort-inspired getaway shows off its individuality with stained glass art in the windows, and skylights that invite cheerful sunlight to pour into the room at every opportunity. Water views await at every turn as well thanks to strategically placed windows, and whether you’re snuggled up in bed with a warm fire roaring in the gas fireplace, unwinding in the jetted tub, or enjoying quiet time in the adjacent sitting area, dreamy water views offer a scenic backdrop.

On the lower level, a whole other living space offers flexibility and potential! Here you’ll find another full kitchen, a rec room, 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, a laundry room, a wine cellar, and extra storage.

This property also promises outdoor living at its finest, and a Pacific Northwest wonderland is right in your backyard! A spacious deck overlooks the park-inspired scene, and a sprawling patio provides a sunny setting for al fresco dining, barbecues with room to host a crowd, and sunbathing in the tranquil atmosphere. Immaculate landscaping features artistic design with a huge variety of beautifully manicured plants, and you can bask in this dreamy garden while views of Commencement Bay serve as your photo-worthy backdrop all year long.
