This North Slope Tacoma Craftsman, is for old house lovers. Calvin Carr didn’t skimp on interior details when building. Alone with the more traditional picture rail, cove ceilings, built-in storage and wainscoting, ornamental plaster was added in the formal dining room and on the (still standing!) original doors. Placing a value on these 96 year old features and work of art year is difficult. It most certainly brings an element of uniqueness and inspiration to this Historic Craftsman home.
The grand living room is lined with large picture windows, Oak Hardwood floors, fireplace, sconce lighting and original wood mantle. Through French doors, enter the formal dining; original built-ins and another large picture window. Through the swinging butler door, enter the updated galley-style kitchen. Large solid wood cabinetry with custom pull-outs and built-ins optimize your storage and use of the kitchen. Full bathroom on the main floor separates the large master suite and office space. In the bathroom, square aqua tile trail five feet up the walls, with hexagon tile that cover the floors. Original pedestal sink, bath/shower combo. You’ll love getting ready every day! Upstairs you’ll find 3 additional bedrooms (one of which is a second master suite!) The smaller bedrooms upstairs have deep closets, perfect for both hanging clothes and storing shoes. The master suite is LARGE. Room enough for several dressers and sitting. 2 smaller built-in closets with small picture windows. Plus a 3rd walk-in closet.
