Beautifully preserved, gorgeous and thoughtfully updated National Historic Home in Tacoma's highly desirable North End. Ideally located within minutes to local coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and newly built Lowell Elementary. Designed by noted architect I. J. Knapp and originally known as "The Smith House," this residence reflects the same timeless craftsmanship seen in Knapp's celebrated work on the Seymour Conservatory at Wright Park. Rich in architectural character, this remarkable 3 bed/1.5 bath home showcases original moldings, millwork, and period details rarely found in such impeccable condition. Light-filled living spaces, along with the inviting front porch, capture picturesque views of Commencement Bay. The beautifully landscaped yard offers a stunning expansive courtyard with mature landscaping, including an incredible 100 year old Rose Bush. The back yard also has a lovely detached studio featuring custom woodwork and handcrafted doors. Lovingly maintained to the highest standards, the home seamlessly blends historic integrity with modern comfort, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator designed to complement the original cabinetry, historically accurate light fixtures, and a Cape Hatteras 4-tab roof. A truly rare opportunity to own one of Tacoma's most distinctive and architecturally significant homes.
