Curated to perfection and showing off beautifully maintained and remodeled spaces, this 2,166-square-foot retreat in Tacoma’s Historic North Slope District is a total dream come true! Sprawling living spaces rest alongside 3 bedrooms and 2.25 baths, and generous square footage along with an attached garage ensure there’s ample room to spread out. One of this home’s top benefits is its excellent location—6th Ave, University of Puget Sound, Stadium District, Proctor District, and the Ruston Way Waterfront are no more than 5 minutes away.

An idyllic scene awaits, and this home-sweet-home shows off eye-catching curb appeal ready to delight. The charming covered front porch is ready for relaxing out in the fresh air and waving to neighbors passing by. Inside, this home’s dialed-in aesthetic impresses from the moment you enter through the front door, and fresh paint and new carpet let this home feel refreshed and ready for its next chapter. No projects here—move right in and begin enjoying this gem from day one! 

The stately fireplace adds instant coziness to the formal living room; relax in peace and quiet and read a book, or catch up with visitors. The formal dining room is ready for entertaining in style as well—host a crowd at your next special occasion or holiday celebration. There’s room for everyone! 


Remodeled and impeccably appointed, the kitchen is a total masterpiece! Old world elements meet modern design; classic custom cabinets promise abundant storage, details like ample pull-out pantry storage make it easy to keep kitchen essentials within reach, and a giant center island with bar seating is ready for gathering. From the tile backsplash to the gleaming counters, each and every detail has been expertly selected. 


The layout unfolds into the spacious family room, and this open-concept haven is sure to become the heart of the home. Plus, patio access expands your living space even more! Your low-maintenance backyard is the ideal getaway for warm summer days. 

When it’s time to unwind, 3 bedrooms beckon. The primary suite is absolutely exquisite; vaulted ceilings, an extra-large layout, a walk-in closet, and a sleek new bathroom are all in the mix. And French doors open up to your private balcony! 


Even more flexible square footage can be found with the enormous upper level bonus room. This could become a 4th bedroom, or could be combined with the 3rd bedroom to create a special guest suite. The possibilities are endless!
