FULL LISTING DETAILS 

THE YARD – It’s like a page right out of the Secret Garden and that’s not by accident! All new landscaping was installed in 2010. 8 years later, it’s well established, less work and enjoyable year-round. Apple tree in the front yard, wisteria along the front fence, bulb flowers, crab apple tree, ornamental plum, honeysuckle, lilacs, kitchen herbs, butterfly bushes and many active hummingbirds. 

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES – Many great options for close outdoor activities given your prime North Tacoma/Proctor location. After work, walk to Proctor District  for a quick afternoon jaunt and sweet treat (THEE Metropolitan cookie is addicting, can’t say you weren’t warned!). For a longer excursion bike to Point Defiance Park and Zoo – home to over 760 acres of uninterrupted forest, 5 acres of Asian Forest Sanctuary and the well know, 5-miles drive. Many locals are still finding new things to appreciate and enjoy about this park after a lifetime of consistent attendance. It is really something special. Want to be on the water? Rent kayaks at Owen beach this summer (don’t forget the sunscreen!), play volley ball, croquet and comb the beach for a full day of fun. Maybe you’re looking for something a little more low key or an activity just for the kids? The Fort Nisqually Living History Museum – host crafts from the past, summer camps and family fun nights.

PARKS – Less than a mile away, walk or ride your bike to Kandle Park – home to Tacoma’s newest outdoor pool and first wave park! This Metro park has a spray-ground (if you just want to play and cool down), skate park, basketball hoops, plenty of picnic sites, walking trails, an open field for flying kites and a community garden.

DINING IN PROCTOR – Let’s go back to talking about the Proctor District. The sellers love dining here! A plethora of diverse options makes it easy to stay in the area and not get tired of any one restaurant – there are so many to choose from! The Metropolitan Market, Knapp’s Restaurant, Peaks & Pints Craft Beer Store, Pomodoro, Europa Bistro, East West, Viva. You can also find locally owned shops for clothing and play, as well as The UPS Store, USPS and The Blue Mouse Theatre, Proctor has its own Farmer’s Market too, every Saturday March through December.

RUSTON WAY  – If you do want a change in scenery, Ruston Way Waterfront is less than a 10 minute drive and the views of Commencement Bay are stunning. Dining choices available include  Katie Downs Waterfront Tavern (renowned for its deep dish pizza!), Duke’s Chowder House (great stop for happy hour) and long time favorite Harbor Lights . At the other end is newly developed (and still growing!) Point Ruston – home to shopping, dining & entertainment – WildFin American Grill, Jewel Box Cafe, Farrelli’s Pizza, Stack 571, Ice Cream Social and more on the way! There are currently over 700 housing units being built, this area of Tacoma is just getting of the ground.
