Showcasing pristine original details and lovingly maintained over the years, this palatial 4,215-square-foot home in North Tacoma presents a truly rare opportunity! Built in 1912, this home is on the market for the first time in over 60 years. Generous living spaces boast old world charm, spacious bedrooms offer water views, and incredible convenience to top Tacoma amenities and attractions are right at your fingertips. Destination neighborhoods like Proctor District, Ruston Way Waterfront, Downtown Tacoma, University of Puget Sound, and Old Town are merely minutes away. Located at 2804 N Cedar Street Tacoma, WA 98407, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is listed for $1,150,000.

Perfectly positioned along a sidewalk-lined street, this grand North Tacoma residence is a delight to arrive home to time and time again. A detached garage and driveway provide ample parking, and this home’s beautifully appointed front porch offers a welcoming scene. The impressive entryway provides just a hint of the historic beauty that awaits, and throughout the rest of the home you’ll find original details like leaded glass windows, box beam ceilings, rich oak floors, exquisite built-ins, a clinker brick fireplace, and so much more.

In the timeless living room, warm natural light pours in through the windows, while the classic fireplace is flanked by gorgeous built-ins. And in the formal dining room, enjoy having the space to host a crowd! Dinner parties, holiday celebrations, and special occasions are all right at home here!

An entertainer’s dream awaits with the kitchen’s thoughtful amenities—the kitchen is steps away from the dining room, and the adjacent butler’s pantry offers even more space for meal prep and keeping kitchen essentials organized.

The main level also includes a flexible space alongside a half bath just off of the living room, and this particular room would make a fantastic home office or reading room; large windows let in cheerful natural light, and its private setting is ideal for focus and productivity.

Each additional bedroom offers its own vintage character, from tasteful wallpaper and impeccable trim work to neat window design and hardwood floors. The primary suite is especially sumptuous with its extra-large layout, and the bath off of the primary boasts dialed-in vintage character that you won’t want to miss! Even more flexibility can be found in the basement and detached garage; use this space for storage and projects, or remodel these spaces in the years to come.

One of the many perks of this property is the fact that it offers outdoor space to enjoy, and yet it’s wonderfully low maintenance. If you like to garden, there’s abundant opportunities to plant your favorite shrubs and flowers alongside the long-established greenery around the home.
