Conveniently located in a desirable North End neighborhood between Proctor and Old Town, this stately 1907 transitional Victorian offers dramatic views of Commencement Bay, Vashon Island and NE Tacoma. The entry level features a spacious living room with a gas fireplace and hardwood floors, a large dining room and an updated kitchen with quartz counters and stainless appliances including an induction range and double oven.

A large view deck off the dining room features stairs down to the pool area and yard, making it ideal for entertaining. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are located upstairs, including a primary suite with stunning water views, custom closets and an updated bathroom with glass-enclosed shower. A large attic space accessed through one of the bedrooms offers ample space for storage or expansion.

The lower level features a family room, an updated bathroom with shower, a laundry area and exterior access. That level could easily be converted into a guest apartment with a portion of the family room walled off to create another bedroom.

System updates and improvements include dual pane windows, a newer water supply line, a newer sewer line, a new sump pump with an alarm and a new chimney above the roof line. The property also includes a heated in-ground pool, mature landscaping with sprinklers in front and back, an attached one car garage with its own sub-panel and a large storage shed off the alley.

Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tacoma's historic North End offers a wide variety of architecturally significant homes - from modest workman's cottages to grand mansions. Anchored by the University of Puget Sound and the Proctor District, the neighborhood features a wonderful mixture of locally owned shops and restaurants including Source Yoga, Metropolitan Market, Peaks and Pints, Cactus, Compass Rose, Chalet Bowl and the historic Blue Mouse Theater - the oldest continuously operating movie theater in Washington State.

The North End offers easy access to Point Ruston and the waterfront, with miles of paved walkways, stunning water views, picnic areas, a public market and a fishing pier. The area's natural assets also include Point Defiance Park - a 702-acre urban oasis with a zoo and aquarium, extensive gardens, an old growth forest, hiking and running trails and a saltwater beach.
