Classic charm and thoughtful modern upgrades await in this fabulous North End treasure! Featuring a 2,019-square-foot layout that includes light-filled living spaces, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and abundant vintage character, this timeless home also boasts extensive updates. You’re nestled on a lovely corner lot on the boulevard with a Mt. Rainier view, and you even have your very own outdoor oasis in the backyard that’s conveniently fully fenced. Located at 1901 N Union Ave Tacoma, WA 98406 and close to the University of Puget Sound, the historic Proctor District and more, this residence is listed for $450,000.
When you arrive home, a charming pathway leads past mature greenery to the front door, and as soon as you step inside, this home’s 1940s character envelopes you in warmth. Details like gorgeous refinished oak floors, original mahogany woodwork, classic tile, vintage lighting, and coved ceilings are all in the mix. In the living room, a fireplace anchors the welcoming haven. Move right in and begin decorating—whether you have a more traditional aesthetic or you love embracing the latest trends, you’ll find potential for it all!
The layout flows into the dining room, and those who love to entertain are especially in for a treat. Find plenty of room for a full-sized dining table set if you’d like enough space to host a crowd—holiday gatherings, special occasions, and dinner parties are all possible here! The kitchen is easily within reach, and you’ll find even more seating in the cute, sunny dining nook. The kitchen itself is a captivating blend of old and new—elements like decorative cutouts, tile counters and the eye-catching backsplash, and crisp white cabinetry all pay homage to a bygone era in the best way possible!
This home also includes a cozy family/media room that’s perfect for laid-back days spent enjoying the comfort of home-sweet-home. Set up an entertainment center in here for movie nights, and use the rest of the room as a play area or hangout.
When it’s time to unwind at the end of the day, this home’s 4 bedrooms each offer something a bit different, from bold color palettes to built-in storage options. There’s even more space in the basement where you’ll find room for laundry, and a workbench that would be perfect for crafting at!
During warmer months, you also have your very own backyard retreat to spend time in. Fenced and featuring mature greenery, you can enjoy a sense of privacy and peace and quiet out here. The huge deck is perfect for hosting barbecues and get-togethers, and you’ve got ample space for outdoor dining sets and lounge chairs. The yard and potential garden space promise possibility as well—try out your green thumb and transform each corner of your yard into something special!
