Well-Appointed Home in 55+ Community in Tacoma 

Kelli Jo Hjalseth • March 5, 2024

Featuring a quality renovation by Wren & Willow, this standout gem in a 55+ community in Tacoma checks all the boxes! Just a few of this home’s standout highlights include its generous living spaces, a gorgeous kitchen, tons of flexibility, a charming yard… and so much more. This move-in ready 1,500-square-foot home has also been impeccably maintained with regular servicing of all the systems as well as smart updates. (Ask for a list of upgrades!) Plus, the community has low HOA dues and robust reserves. Located at 6514 N 53rd Street Tacoma, WA 98407, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Tacoma home for sale is listed for $600,000.

The living room offers a warm and welcoming scene to arrive home to, and a gas fireplace anchors this haven of relaxation and entertaining. One of this home’s top perks is its effortless floor plan; from the living room, both the kitchen and bright dining room are right at your fingertips. The dining room has more than enough space for a full-sized dining set the next time you’d like to host a crowd, and from here, the patio and garden are easily within reach! Pop outside when the weather warms up for outdoor dining, and enjoy the seamless indoor-outdoor flow at your next summertime BBQ.

Timeless elegance and excellent efficiency await in the dialed-in kitchen. Rich walnut cabinets provide ample storage and feature under cabinet lighting, as well as a couple of handy pull-out drawers. Pristine quartz counters gleam under the natural light from the skylight, and there’s more than enough room for multiple cooks in the kitchen. Whipping up meals for special occasions and baking dozens of your favorite holiday treats is a breeze! Additionally, laundry amenities and even more storage are adjacent to the kitchen.

This home’s bedrooms are large and offer lovely territorial views, and the primary suite is so big that it’s currently used as a family room. Here you have access to the sunny deck, and a huge walk-in closet and ensuite bath are included as well. The ensuite bath is definitely not to be missed—the stylish aesthetic includes a double vanity, a custom tile shower, and an adjacent soaking tub. Freshening up each morning and unwinding in the tub after a long day feel extra rejuvenating thanks to the spa-inspired style!

Low-maintenance outdoor spaces ensure you always have a private outdoor spot to take in the fresh air. And yet for those who enjoy gardening, there’s plenty of opportunity. Neat landscaping delight in both the front and backyard, and you can put your green thumb to work whenever the mood strikes.
