The property is conveniently located in North Tacoma, near Jefferson Park, 6th Ave, Proctor, and the University of Puget Sound.

This home is just half of a block from Jefferson Park. “At close to 15 acres this neighborhood park has room for team sports, a playground and sprayground, tennis and pickleball courts and plenty of space for picnicking.”

For coffee, a two minute drive will get you to 6th Ave and some of the best coffee in Tacoma, Valhalla Coffee. You’re only a three minute drive to the University of Puget Sound and a four minute drive to Proctor.

“We love to take walks through Jefferson Park and to the Proctor neighborhood for ice cream at Ice Cream Social or a tasty sandwich at Peaks and Pints. We love the Blue Mouse for a cheap movie night, and can take the bus downtown for festivals so we don’t have to park. To maintain a balanced lifestyle we will often pick up salads from Grit City Greens and then eat them at Beer Star, a two minute walk from the house. We are located just 10 minutes or so away from Point Defiance and we take our long Sunday walks on five mile drive there.” – the sellers

An introverts dream, the house is private – tucked away back from the street with plenty of parking off of the paved alley. The yard is fully fenced, and well laid out. There’s a chicken coop and storage shed to the right of the home, and a patio, deck, and six garden beds on the left.

When you park on N 8th, there is a paved path that leads to the gated entry into the front yard of the home.

“We fell in love with the secluded nature of the home and its functional layout. It was a major bonus to us that the home is in the North End; we had always wanted to live in this sweet and charming neighborhood.”

Enter from the front of the home into the living area, or through the side door off of the deck and into the kitchen. The sellers like to park in the gravel parking area off of the paved alley and enter through the side of the home.

There is a gas fireplace in the living room and newer maple hardwood flooring throughout. There is a 1/2 inch top on them so you can sand and refinish them if you want in the future instead of replacing the flooring!

“The open floor plan of the house and many windows make it feel airy and bright all year long. The gas fireplace adds to the cozy feeling in the winter months.” -the sellers

The kitchen was fully renovated and new appliances were installed in 2022! The kitchen has tall vaulted ceilings.

“We love cooking in the modern kitchen and using our own berries from the established berry bushes to make jam all summer long.” -the sellers

There is one bedroom to the right of the living space and one further down on the right, next to the bathroom.

The first room is currently being used as an office.

The second room is next to the bathroom.

There are built in shelves on both sides of the bed that the sellers use as nightstands, and a place to set the books they are reading.

The laundry area, electric panel, hot water heater, and storage closet are through the kitchen.

Nice stackable washer and dryer purchased in 2023. You could reconfigure the set up in here, but the washer and dryer do open fully in its current set up.

The side entry into the home leads from the yard into the kitchen.

View from the deck! Turning right will lead you to the storage shed and chicken coop. The path to the left will lead you to the garden beds and patio.

The sellers have done such an amazing job at making this yard feel private and relaxing.

“Probably our most special memory is when we got married right in the back yard! It was 2020 and the world was shut down, but we had our own special place to share an intimate ceremony with our closest people, and it was truly magical.” -the sellers

“We will miss all the good times we had hosting friends for dinner parties and garden get togethers! This was our first home and we have poured a lot of time and love into making it a modern cozy place where we spent many hours gardening, building fires in the solo stove, cooking delicious meals, and doing art projects together. We will miss our private retreat from our busy urban lifestyle! And that cute craftsman feeling. We learned the original builders were the Anderson Family, and looked up the original lot information at the Northwest Room archive at the Tacoma Public Library.” -the sellers
