Lovingly maintained by the same owners for over 35 years, this extraordinary 2,759-square-foot residence offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history! Built in 1915, this home shows off the very best of the era, with architectural surprises and impeccable design ready to delight. Views of Commencement Bay offer a scenic backdrop, and just wait until you see this property’s beautifully curated gardens! Located at 3718 N 34th Street Tacoma, WA 98407 with a large lot that may allow a DADU, this North Tacoma home is listed for $1,100,000.
With vibrant landscaping, a gorgeous stone porch and chimney, and timeless design, this home’s exterior shows off the kind of curb appeal that inspires a double take from passersby! Every detail has been manicured to perfection, offering a hint of the immaculate spaces that await inside. The front door opens up to reveal a layout that seamlessly unfolds; relax in the cozy library replete with built-ins, visit with guests in the light-filled living room, and entertain in style in the massive dining room!
Those who love to entertain are especially in for a treat; for example, the incredible dining room is poised for memorable dinner parties and holiday celebrations. A cohesive aesthetic continues into the dining room, featuring stunning built-ins alongside crisp trimwork and wainscoting. Even more seating awaits in the large and inviting buffet that offers a more casual setting; your morning cup of coffee and lazy weekend brunches are right at home here. The kitchen is especially noteworthy—it’s been updated to period standards while featuring design elements that nod to this home’s early 20th century origins. A chef’s range, exquisite custom tile, and granite are just a few of the standout features here.
One of this home’s major benefits includes all of the flexible square footage that is ready to be transformed. There are 4 possible bedrooms upstairs, an office on the main level (which was a former bedroom), and 1 bedroom on the lower level. Each comfortably elegant space offers something a bit different, but all are equally as lovely. A private deck, sitting areas, built-in window benches, built-in shelving, and more are all in the dynamic mix. And don’t miss the baths—attractive vintage elements embrace this home’s captivating character.
The 2nd story also features a grand family room with commanding views of the Puget Sound. Relax in peace and quiet, or catch up with loved ones here, all while admiring the shimmering bay stretching out onto the horizon.
Spend all spring and summer hanging out on the sunny deck or on the large porch with bay views. Storybook gardens show off many years of care and curation, and now you can bask in the glory of this outdoor oasis! Host garden parties and backyard BBQs, spend peaceful afternoons gardening, and rejuvenate with a nap out in the fresh air!
There is also a sizable basement that could be finished to your liking, and right now it’s ready for storage and projects. This home’s large lot may also allow a DADU.
