Stunning remodeled home in the heart of Tacoma’s highly sought-after North End, just steps from the University of Puget Sound, the Proctor District, and the restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and nightlife along 6th Ave. Positioned on a sunny corner lot with rare off-street parking for 6+ vehicles, this property blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades and flexible living options rarely found in this location. The main level features a spacious primary suite with a beautifully updated bathroom, an additional bedroom, and a bright remodeled kitchen with eating nook and abundant natural light. Upstairs offers incredible flexibility with two oversized bedrooms and bonus living space ideal for a junior suite, second living room, creative studio, or home office. A full-height unfinished basement provides excellent storage and future potential, while the detached finished office/studio creates the perfect work-from-home space, gym, hobby room, or private retreat. Located in one of Tacoma’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home is walkable to UPS, Proctor, and 6th Ave, making it attractive for owner-occupants, house hackers, or investors alike. Previously used successfully as a rental to college students before the home was remodeled. Rare combination of location, flexibility, parking, and usable space in the North End.
