Step into a home where every season has been celebrated, every detail cared for, and every space part of a story. This 1920 Craftsman, set on a spacious lot in University Place, blends timeless character with thoughtful updates while preserving the warmth and charm of its era. Original Fir floors, built-ins, French doors, and cozy wood-burning fireplace create a sense of history the moment you walk in. The updated kitchen features a new oven, newer countertops, and all appliances included. Major updates offer peace of mind, including plumbing (2024), furnace (2020), and water heater (2019). Bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed, highlighted by a beautifully refinished 6-foot clawfoot tub. With 4 bedrooms-including 2 on the main floor-this home offers flexible living. Upstairs opens to a lofted space with additional bedrooms, one capturing peekaboo views of Puget Sound, Fox Island, and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Outdoors, the home truly comes to life. The fully fenced front yard creates a private, welcoming space-more like a garden retreat. Over the years, it has been transformed into seasonal displays and gathering spaces, becoming a place of creativity, connection, and joy. The backyard offers a quieter escape with patio, café lighting, new lawn, and mature landscaping. Attached 2-car garage, alley access, and basement storage add functionality. More than just a place to live, this is a home that has been shared, celebrated, and deeply loved-ready for its next chapter.
