About this home

New price! Few Tacoma homes carry a name, and the Gray Mansion has earned its own. Set high above Commencement Bay, this landmark residence pairs early-1900s craftsmanship with the updates today’s buyers expect, including fresh exterior paint and a new front porch completed in July 2026. A grand 40-by-18-foot living room anchors the main floor with custom built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace, while the bay-facing dining room sets the stage for memorable evenings. The kitchen balances character and performance: granite counters, rich cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a French La Cornue range framed by 18th-century stained glass. Upstairs, the second floor offers three bedrooms, two baths, a wet bar, and laundry. The third floor is a retreat of its own, with a bedroom, living area, full bath, wet bar, and panoramic views of the bay and city skyline. On site, a refreshed detached ADU with two bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen, laundry, and private entrance welcomes extended family, guests, or long-term tenants. Pella windows, geothermal HVAC, a tankless water heater, and a spacious basement workshop deliver comfort and efficiency year-round. Sunsets belong on the expansive rooftop deck and multiple view balconies. All of this sits minutes from Ruston Way, Old Town, and Point Defiance Park. A true Tacoma icon, now priced to move.
