3 BEDROOM HOME IN EAST TACOMA
Get away from it all in your very own Tacoma hideaway, sipping your morning coffee as the sun reflects off the mountain. The pairing of custom woodwork and modern finishes make for a rustic, yet stylish aesthetic that is wholly unique. Not to mention major updates of roof, plumbing, wiring, windows, and heating system. The over 12,000 sq ft. lot leaves you room to create in the garden, park out back and store your gear in the shop. All this while being commuter friendly. Don’t forget the video!
FROM THE SELLER
A little from the sellers about the location, and what they’ll miss about the neighborhood -
“We’ll miss watching the sunrise on Mt. Rainier from the master bedroom, drinking coffee on the porch staring at Mt. Rainier, enjoying the quiet evenings on the dead-end street, the vast garden space, mature pear/apple trees and grapevine.”
“We’ve enjoyed this location because we can walk to the Top of Tacoma and Dusty’s, checking out the brewery scene of 7 Seas, Sig, and E9, easy on/off the highway, proximity to the train station, biking to work downtown, easy avoidance of high-traffic zones.”
“When dining out we like 7 Seas for the Sacred Cut and salads, Top of Tacoma Taco/Nachos, Alma Mater, En Rama Gin with Homemade Tonic.”

You’ll be happy to know that the Eastside of Tacoma just got a Community Center - spacious pool that’s great for laps, there’s a fun slide, diving board, spray features, climbing wall, water vortex, hot tub, aqua zip and more. You can book pool parties, partake in some water exercise and swimming lessons AND it’s affordable! Playing in the water isn’t the only thing you can do here; they also have a Metronome Coffee shop, basketball court, recording studio, training kitchen, social hall, fitness area and a dance room. While this new center is focusing on safe space for youth to go, it will serve the entire community. More info on how the Eastside Community Center came to be.
The Tacoma Link light rail is currently a 1.6-mile light rail line starting at the Tacoma Dome Station and ending at the Theater District on South 9th Street – and is free to ride! The city is currently working on an expansion plan with construction finalizing in 2022. This project will more than double the current length and will reach new destinations like the Old City Hall, the Stadium District, Wright Park and the Hilltop communities. Check here for link updates! Are you planning to attend a Sounders or Seahawks game in the future? Catch the Sounder Train at the Tacoma Dome Station northbound to Seattle – it’s convenient, cheap (about $5 to ride) and less of a hassle than sitting in I-5 traffic for events or commuting! Both the light rail and train are just a mile away!
