Built in 1910, this move-in ready home offers the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history. At every turn, the dialed-in aesthetic is ready to impress—discover original fir floors, crisp wainscoting, a beamed ceiling, and built-ins meticulously restored to their original patina. Details like stylish wallpaper, exquisite light fixtures, and neat trim work are all in the mix as well, transporting you back in time in the best way. A newer roof along with updated electrical and plumbing also promise ease and efficiency; this home is ready to take on the future!

Idyllic curb appeal promises that arriving home day after day is an absolute joy. The charming front porch and entryway offer just a hint of what to expect throughout the rest of the home. In the warm and welcoming living room and dining room, an old world-inspired aesthetic instantly elevates any gathering. An entertainer’s dream awaits!

The kitchen is right at your fingertips, and this expertly designed space marries timeless design with contemporary amenities. Marmoleum flooring, solid surface counters, ample storage, gleaming appliances, and even an inviting dining area are all in the dynamic mix.

Both the main level and upstairs each have their own bath, for a total of 2 baths in this home. Vintage style adorns each well-appointed space, for a pristine and refreshing atmosphere. You’ll also find all 3 bedrooms upstairs, and each one has walk-in closet space!

One of this home’s top benefits is how much versatile square footage is ready for your vision. A huge unfinished basement and a newer, generous 2-car detached garage built by York out back are brimming with possibilities. Create the art or music studio, home office, hobby space, or home gym you’ve always wanted.

Al fresco dining, hosting out in the fresh air, gardening on sunny days, and plenty of space for play are all on the horizon thanks to the backyard oasis. Sway in the breeze on the deck swing or relax on the patio while admiring views of the established greenery and flowers showing off their blooms. Time spent at home both inside and out is a total delight!
