Perched gracefully on a knoll in the coveted North End neighborhood, this 1926 architectural beauty blends timeless charm with sophisticated modern updates. From the wide, classic front porch to the meticulous interior, this home exudes character. The heart of the home is a classic galley-style kitchen, efficiently designed with ample counter space. The main level flows into an oversized dining room and a sun-drenched living room anchored by a fireplace, sculpted archways, and original built-ins. Rich hardwoods and shiplap detailing create an atmosphere of elegance. The main floor features a true primary suite with an en-suite and walk-in closet, plus an additional full guest bath. Relax and enjoy peek-a-boo water views of the Tacoma waterfront from the bright living spaces. A large laundry/mudroom adds convenience. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms-one with its own water views-and a half bath, along with deep closets for storage. The finished basement is a standout, offering a large great room perfect for media or a gym, built for longevity with full waterproofing. Out back, enjoy the updated composite deck, a spacious fully fenced yard, and a generous parking pad with alley access. Extensive recent updates include a new roof (2021), updated electrical/panel, and a reinforced chimney. Location is everything-minutes from Point Defiance Park, Vashon Ferry, and Point Ruston. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
