Refreshed Historic Charm Awaits! 2-Bedroom, 1.5-Bath Home w/Private Backyard in North Tacoma 

Situated in a convenient North Tacoma location merely blocks to 6th Ave and University of Puget Sound, this timeless Tacoma treasure shines like new! This beauty was originally built in 1890 and shows off hints of historic charm, but new owners will benefit from a complete refresh that has included many modern updates over the years. A bright and cheerful 1,308-square-foot layout beckons, with inviting living spaces, 2 bedrooms, a bonus room, and 1.5 baths all waiting for your unique vision. There’s even a private fully fenced backyard with a shop off of the alley! Located at 3108 N 7th St Tacoma, WA 98406 and not more than 5 minutes to top amenities and attractions, this North Tacoma residence is listed for $475,000. 

This home’s picture-perfect exterior boasts the type of curb appeal that inspires passersby to do a double take! A large covered deck just sweetens the deal; set up a comfy bench and a rocking chair here so you can hang out in the fresh air and wave to neighbors strolling by. And just in through the front door, you’ll find that this home’s interior is just as delightful as its exterior. A cool and calm color palette and a gleaming hardwood floor characterize the space, and the layout in this main living area is totally flexible to suit your needs. 

French doors open up into the sunlit kitchen, and here you’ll find a canvas ready for transformation. All of the basics have been taken care of—the kitchen offers a generous layout, and you can have fun decorating! Add a pop of color with a fresh coat of paint, design a backsplash for added texture, set up additional storage, and warm up the space with a stylish rug. A cute dining nook features built-in bench-style seating, and this sundrenched spot offers an inviting setting for weekend brunches, refreshments with visitors, and gathering around homemade meals. 

Abundant flexibility can be enjoyed upstairs thanks to the primary bedroom, an additional bedroom, and a bonus room. Each pristine retreat is replete with possibility; any extra square footage can be used as a home office, hobby room, home gym, art studio… and more! The unfinished basement also offers versatility and includes a washer and dryer, and the shop off of the alley is ready to be used for storage or projects. 

In the backyard, a getaway provides you with privacy and potential. Established greenery not only offers seclusion, but a lush wall of natural beauty to admire. You can keep things simple and as is (it’s the perfect spot for letting pets wander!), or you might decide to build a deck, design landscaping, or build raised garden beds.
