About this home

Midcentury enthusiasts, this one's for you! Discover this North Tacoma classic, where original character has been lovingly preserved and quality has guided every improvement. Envisioned as their forever home, the sellers invested in both the beauty you see and the infrastructure you don't. Warm, refinished hardwood floors, a classic midcentury natural stone entry and fireplace, and original wood cabinetry celebrate the home's architectural roots. Natural Marmoleum flooring and non toxic paint reflect thoughtful material choices. Extensive improvements include Milgard windows, Lennox furnace and heat pump, updated electrical & PEX plumbing, insulated Clopay garage doors, & Therma-Tru entry doors. Enjoy Bosch kitchen appliances and coordinated Toto & Kohler bathroom fixtures. Professional basement water mitigation includes a transferable warranty. The expansive unfinished basement w/ tall ceilings offers incredible potential for additional living space, workshop or creative pursuits. The oversized corner lot offers room to garden, gather, and explore future DADU possibilities. Enjoy the best of North Tacoma living! Minutes to Point Defiance Park's wooded trails and waterfront, Point Ruston's restaurants and promenade, and the Proctor District's shops, coffee houses, dining, and farmers market. Authentic midcentury character, meaningful improvements, an oversized corner lot, and an incredible location. A home with history, heart, and an uncommon level of care. Welcome home!
