In Tacoma’s Old Town, midway up the slope from the shore, stands this 1940s home full of potential for a new era. Views extend across Commencement Bay to Browns Point—with vision, work and renovation investments it could be restored to an ideal North End retreat. Covered by a 2022 roof, with original hardwood floors intact, features include a large lot, fenced side yard, attached garage and a view deck. The partially finished daylight basement offers a ¾ bath, laundry area and a rec room with a sliding door to the patio. Mature dogwoods, rhodies and a magnolia provide privacy and shade. Set 1.5 miles from Proctor markets and just blocks from the Ruston Way Waterfront, Old Town Dock, a sandy beach, schools, cafes, parks and annual festivals.
