Historic 4-Bedroom, 1.75-Bath Home on Lovely Corner Lot in Tacoma’s Proctor Neighborhood

Kelli Jo Hjalseth • October 22, 2020

Brimming with captivating vintage charm and sundrenched living spaces, this 2,886-square-foot Proctor gem presents a rare opportunity. Built in 1905, you’ll find the ideal blend of historic elements and modern amenities throughout, and opportunities to add your own updates into the mix await. In addition to the expansive layout that includes 4 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, this property also features a deck, patio, and lush greenspace. Located at 3801 N 33rd St Tacoma, WA 98407, this Proctor residence is listed for $620,000.

This timeless Tacoma treasure delights from the moment you arrive home. Sweet pathways lead up to the picture-perfect cottage porch, and as soon as you step in through the front door, this home’s welcoming layout seamlessly unfolds. To the left, an inviting gathering room offers flexibility and deck access. And to the right, rich hardwoods guide you into the formal living room, where a magnificent stone-accented fireplace serves as the focal point. Abundant sunlight cascades in through large, crystal clear windows, adding to the cheerful atmosphere that you’re sure to love entertaining in.

From here, the layout flows right into the adjacent dining area. You’ll find more than enough room for a full-sized dining table, making it easy to host a crowd for holiday get-togethers and special occasions. The kitchen is just steps away, and a smart layout ensures that everything you need is easily within reach.

The main level also includes a large, sunny bedroom and a full bath. Head up the open staircase to discover even more wonderfully versatile and comfortable space—the upper level includes 2 bedrooms, a ¾ bath, and a 4th bedroom that you can finish to suit your own unique needs. Each finished bedroom boasts an extra-large layout, built-in storage, cozy carpets, and plenty of natural light, and you can easily move right in and start to unpack!

The 4th unfinished bedroom offers incredible potential—you can indeed use it as a bedroom, or you might decide to transform it into a home office, a play area, or a hobby space. Even more flexibility awaits in the basement, and this generously sized space can simply be used as storage, or you can put your imagination to work! There’s room for work benches, a fitness center, a music studio, and more.

This historic Proctor property also makes it easy to spend time out in the fresh air. The idyllic corner lot includes a spacious deck where you can sunbathe, enjoy al fresco dining, have fun decorating, and try your hand at container gardening, and the adjacent patio offers more outdoor space to transform. The beautifully manicured yard that surrounds the home is also blossoming with potential—you can keep things simple and low-maintenance, or put your green thumb to work tending to the mature greenery and adding in your favorite plants!
