This is the North Tacoma Craftsman you’ve been waiting for! Built in 1917, this lovely historic home is filled with the warmth and original character you just can’t recreate. We’re talking gorgeous hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, original built-ins, and timeless details throughout that give every room a welcoming feel. With 5 bedrooms and 2.25 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own private bath, there’s plenty of space to spread out while still keeping that cozy Craftsman feel. And the big-ticket stuff? Already taken care of. A 2018 roof, updated and rewired electrical, newer furnace (2023), and fully rebuilt chimney mean some of the biggest projects that come with owning a historic home have already been done, leaving the fun cosmetic updates for you to make this home completely your own. Out back, the deck feels made for slow mornings with coffee, summer dinners, and a house full of friends. Plus, three off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience. But what really makes this home special is where you get to live. You’re right in the heart of North Tacoma, close to the restaurants, coffee shops, and local favorites along 6th Ave, minutes from the University of Puget Sound, and surrounded by the community traditions that make this neighborhood so fun — like Art on the Ave and Porchfest. Historic, warm, full of character, and right in the middle of one of Tacoma’s most vibrant communities. This one is special.
