About this home

North End charm. Backyard relaxation. Help with your first-year payment. Ask about the preferred lender’s 1% temporary rate buy-down for the first year, available to qualified buyers using the preferred lender; program terms apply. This inviting North Tacoma home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and 1,286 sq ft with a mostly one-level layout, generous rooms and abundant natural light. A brick-surround gas fireplace anchors the spacious living room, which flows into the dining area. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, an additional eating area and backyard access. A large bonus room adds flexibility for an office, media room, hobbies or potential fourth bedroom. Forced-air heating, a heat pump, central A/C and a tankless water heater bring everyday comfort. Outside, unwind beneath the substantial covered patio, soak in the hot tub or enjoy gardening in the fully fenced backyard. An attached garage and driveway parking add convenience. Bring your vision to the kitchen and bath while enjoying the home’s character and comfortable spaces from day one. Explore nearby Proctor and 6th Ave restaurants, coffee shops and shopping, with convenient access to Point Defiance, the Ruston waterfront, downtown Tacoma and Puget Sound recreation.
