About this home

Holding its stately corner in Tacoma's Stadium-Seminary Historic District since 1889, 502 N E St is the Queen Anne Victorian designed by John Proctor that makes historic home lovers stop mid-block. As true stewards, the sellers committed to foundational restoration — full structural shoring, original carriage garage preserved using period-authentic methods, kitchen ceiling lifted to Victorian proportions, & systems upgrades. You inherit these priceless bones to unleash your creative magic. SO much amazing space & detail on three floors (plus the basement) on a private, fenced, corner lot. The Queen Anne wrap around veranda & double doors open to original hardwoods, & the wow factor hand-turned oak staircase with Gothic arch balusters. Ornate millwork with rosette details, coffered ceilings, original leaded & handmade stained glass throughout including jewel-toned transoms, leaded-glass cabinet doors, and a spectacular crimson/jade medallion window in the two-room primary suite with Commencement Bay views. You'll love the old style push button switches & antique lighting throughout but updated electrical behind. White cabinetry, subway tile, & butcher block island in the now sprawling kitchen. Precisely located in the heart of it all between Stadium and Old Town, minutes from downtown Tacoma, Stadium High, Wright Park, and Commencement Bay waterfront. In the National Register but no historic home renovation restrictions. Be the lucky new steward of this treasure TODAY!
