PRIME location. Proctor, UPS
It can be difficult to find a home in North Tacoma that provides ample space, privacy, AND prime location. Here you have it all. The home is located on a dead-end street and less than 6 blocks from the University of Puget Sound and just four blocks to Brewers Row and Cooks Tavern.
Just over a mile away from the home is the Boardwalk on Ruston Way Waterfront. Walk, run, bike or rollerblade while watching the water – maybe you’ll get lucky and see a whale (or few!) Less than one mile from the home is the The Proctor District; the largest conglomerate of boutique shopping and eating in Tacoma. Saturday Proctor’s Market operates nine months out of the year serving up fresh produce, handmade goods and smiles from all the neighbors. Home and community here are easy to find.
GARDEN ESCAPE
Inheriting mature trees and landscaping is incredibly underrated. The future owners will see the weekly change of the vibrant fall colors. Outside the living room window the Maple Tree will transform from lush green to yellow, orange and red. I view the ever changing landscaping as the best wall art there is.
Spring and summer of next year you can anticipate the flowers of Zinnia’s, Hydrangeas, Yarrow and much more. Your sights, smells and taste (thanks raspberries!) will be satisfied. Thoughtfully placed throughout the yard, the plants serve as a natural privacy barrier. Giving you and your neighbors space while not totally blocking out future salutations and conversations.
BACKYARD: Lawn & Patio
The backyard (like the front) is fully fenced. The medium sized patch of grass and poured patio make for a great spot to sit and mingle. The maple trees provide great shade in the afternoon. Keeping your lawn green all year around isn’t a issue – this home comes with a full sprinkler system.
Accessible by way of the paved alley, you can access your 1 car (280 square foot) detached garage. Now, let’s go inside!
MAIN FLOOR: 3 Beds + Modernized kitchen & Living
1950’s build – quality and style that lasts
Modern (original) details, thoughtful quality upgrades and layout that will serve you now and well into the future. These combined attributes of a home are a unique and treasured find.Throughout the main floor Hardwood Floors are present. Some locations showing more wear and tear than others. Fortunately the depth of these hardwoods will allow for future (and multiple) refinishing(s), should the next owner like to do just that. The tiered ceiling and recessed edge doorways are two notable original details of the home.
Living Room
The living room, facing north receives great light throughout the day. Picture windows line the room. During the windows months the sellers use fireplace often. Siting it as a great way to heat to home. I don’t doubt that starting a fire and curling up with a book during a cold winter day would quickly become a favorite home activity.
3 Bedrooms on the Main Floor
Three of the four bedrooms are located on the main floor. The largest of the three enjoys views of the side yard and maple tree. All of the windows throughout the home are dressed blinds. Those located in the living room are privacy blinds open both from top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top.
Kitchen
In 2024 the owners upgraded the appliances in the kitchen; Induction stove, new hood vent and refrigerator. The eat-in nook is well lit and generously sized. It’s large enough for a 4 person intimate gathering. Windows that surround the dining nook are a crank style; a thoughtful variation.
Bathroom
Both bathrooms (one on each floor) have been beautifully upgraded. The color palette of the tile, cabinets and flooring create a fresh and clean feeling space. Built in mirror and cabinetry provide great storage and practically speaking, both bathrooms are outfitted with fans and proper ventilation.
LOWER LEVEL: Space Galore
It’s not an overstatement to say that the lower level feels like an entirely separate home! Both floors functions well on their own and together create great flexibility in how you live. Allowing you to adjust and mold to changing life patterns throughout the years in the same space.
Canned lighting, built-in shelving and closet storage, unfinished utility room (great for overflow storage needs) and 4th bedroom. The high quality carpet is well used and has some staining. That said, it provides me great comfort anytime I see a basement with not new carpet and fresh paint – you know there aren’t any sneaky water/moisture issues! You too will be impressed with how much space this lower level has.
