Kelli Jo Hjalseth • May 26, 2023

An oasis of elegant comfort and outdoor beauty is all yours with this move-in ready rambler! Perfectly situated on Tacoma’s West Slope, this west-facing residence shows off views of the Narrows Bridge and spectacular sunsets. In addition to impeccably maintained living spaces (which include a lovely sunroom!), this home’s 1,390-square-foot layout also features 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths. Effortless, easy, and efficient living awaits! Located at 1348 N Juniper Tacoma, WA 98406 and no more than 5 minutes to grocery stores, restaurants, schools, parks, shopping, dining and more, this home is listed for $585,000.

Classic residential charm delights from the moment you pull in the driveway; lush, mature landscaping and breathtaking views of the Narrows Bridge frame this picture-perfect scene. The entry courtyard just sweetens the deal—add your own personal touch and hang up flower baskets, grow vines on the arbor, and set out cute garden pots overflowing with flowers. And just in through the front door, the sunlit entryway leads right to formal spaces designed with entertaining in mind.

The living room’s dramatic vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace instantly elevate the overall aesthetic, and whether you’re catching up with guests or simply relaxing with a good book by the fire, this haven is ready to impress. And in the formal dining area, there’s more than enough space for a full-sized dining set—host holiday get-togethers, special occasions, and laid-back meals any day of the week here!

The kitchen is right around the corner; enviable amenities are just waiting to be discovered. The sun-oriented kitchen garden window is ready to be filled with sun-loving plants and all of your favorite herbs. A convenient built-in desk offers a handy home office spot, or the ideal area to keep the daily mail organized and other household essentials close by. Ample storage, generous counters, and even a tucked away laundry niche are all here as well! (Plus, all appliances are included!)

Unwind in the sizable primary suite where rejuvenating sunlight pours in through a skylight over a built-in vanity, and direct access to the sunroom provides even more opportunity for taking in some rays. And, in addition to the spacious bedroom layout, an ensuite bath is right here as well. In the 2 other bedrooms, find the opportunity to create a guest suite, home office, hobby room, or home gym! Even more possibilities await in the 2-car garage—in addition to parking, find space for projects and storage.

When it comes to this home’s outdoor setting, a true oasis is yours to admire, cultivate, and bask in. A patio nook is nestled just behind the garage, and beyond a charming arbor and trellises covered in blossoms, the rest of the manicured yard unfolds. Established shrubs, trees, and plants show off their glory during warmer months, and while you get to benefit from decades of care, there’s still plenty of room to plant your own favorites!
