About this home
A truly grand historic estate in Tacoma's North Slope District, this remarkable residence blends timeless elegance with thoughtful modern updates just steps from 6th Ave, the Stadium District, and Wright Park. The welcoming covered front porch with swing helps to set the tone for everything inside: a warm vintage foyer, original unpainted millwork, wainscoting, picture rail, box beam ceilings, coved ceilings, oak hardwoods, and an exquisite Adamesque fireplace create a wonderful first impression. The main floor office is served by a beautifully updated ¾ bath with heated floors. The chef's kitchen features marble counters, heated concrete floors, and Viking range—for serious cooking. Updated wiring and plumbing, along with a new gas boiler and water heater, provide confidence behind the scenes. A grand staircase ascends to spacious bedrooms showcasing distinctive maple hardwood floors and a classic second-floor bath anchored by a freestanding "Taft" tub. The generous primary bedroom enjoys direct bath access. The finished third floor offers an expansive family room plus a versatile flex room ideal as a bedroom, office, studio, or craft room. Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard is an entertainer's retreat with a stamped concrete patio, hot tub, raised garden beds, a large gazebo with built-in gas grill and outdoor kitchen, plus a one-car garage and two-car carport accessed from the alley. Newly rebuilt chimney and so much more. $5000 seller credit for rate buydown.
