This midcentury Browns Point estate sits on two parcels with million-dollar views of Mt. Rainier, Commencement Bay and the Tacoma skyline. Incredible potential for your primary residence, multigenerational living, income producing property, home office — or all of the above! Life here is pretty special: think morning sunrises behind Mt. Rainier, daytime views of ships & orcas and then sunsets & Olympic mountain views from the hot tub or your primary suite. The 4-bedroom main home (3 beds up, 1 down) is ready for your personal touch, and the attached 2-car garage even features a mechanic’s pit. The daylight basement has great potential to be a step-free apartment with its own covered parking. The second parcel includes a separate 836 sq ft garage with a spacious 1-bedroom apartment above — with its own deck, its own views, and ready to generate income from day one! And then there's Browns Point itself — a close-knit community with lots of fun traditions like the Salmon Bake and Turkey Trot. Within a 10 minute drive, you'll enjoy amenities like the Lighthouse Park, Dash Point State Park, Northshore & Twin Lakes golf courses, and the Center at Norpoint.

What’s Nearby
Browns Point is one of those places people stumble upon and never want to leave. Tucked into the northeastern corner of Tacoma along the shores of Puget Sound, this small waterfront community has held onto its character in a way few neighborhoods manage. The historic Browns Point Lighthouse and its surrounding park sit right at the water's edge, and Dash Point State Park — just minutes down the road — offers over 11 miles of trails through old-growth forest that lead right down to the beach. Numerous parks, two nearby golf courses, and easy access to the water make outdoor living an everyday reality here.
What makes Browns Point truly special is the community itself. The Browns Point Improvement Club has been the heartbeat of the neighborhood for generations, and the Center at Norpoint keeps residents connected through events and programming year-round. Neighbors here have deep roots, and newcomers tend to plant them just as quickly. Despite its tucked-away feel, you're only 10–15 minutes from Federal Way, Tacoma's amenities, and easy freeway access to Seattle and the broader South Sound — close to everything, but a world apart.
