About this home
Welcome to Narrow’s Crest, one of North Tacoma’s premier gated neighborhoods. Aptly named Sunset Drive, this Cape Cod inspired home stands proudly overlooking the Tacoma Narrows and features jaw-dropping sunset and Olympic Mountain views. Built in 1999 and maintained in superb condition, this stately home boasts more than 5,200 square feet of living space, almost all of which captures the dynamic water, sky, mountain, and bridge views. Surrounded by immaculate landscaping, you’ll love the outdoor living spaces including the broad West-facing main-level covered porch and the aggregate patio with direct access to the kitchen, perfect for al fresco dining. Inside, you’ll find beautiful oak hardwood floors and solid wood doors, windows, and trim work. The waterside of the main level includes a sizeable living room, dining room, and massive kitchen with an additional informal eating space. Also on the main level is the primary en suite with his-and-her closets, a second bedroom and bath, dual pantries with ample storage, a cute office space, and a large laundry room with even more storage. Upstairs is where the views truly shine! The second story waterside deck presents more than 800 square feet of tremendous water, bridge, and sunset views. The upper living space offers room for whatever you can imagine – with a second fireplace – two bedrooms, another bath, and two flex rooms perfect for a home office, nursery, or additional bedrooms. Don’t miss this stunner!
