Comfortable & Convenient in Central Tacoma 

Timeless allure and vintage charm beckon from this move-in ready Tacoma treasure that is the perfect starter home! Featuring a spacious 1,684-square-foot layout, this home-sweet-home provides beautifully appointed living spaces along with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Even more space awaits in the detached garage, and the cute fenced backyard is ready to become your private oasis! Located at 3102 S 8th Street Tacoma, WA 98405 and no more than 5 minutes to dining, coffee shops, shopping, schools, parks, and transit, this Central Tacoma home is listed for $420,000. 

From this home’s eye-catching exterior to its captivating living spaces, you’ll find elements that nod to this home’s origins. Built in 1895, you get to own a piece of Tacoma history while benefiting from all of the updates over the years, which most recently includes fresh paint and carpeting for that “like new” feel! High ceilings, large windows, and statement-making trimwork characterize much of the main level. Whether your personal aesthetic leans more trendy or traditional, you’ll find warm and welcoming spaces ready for your vision. 

Create a stylish haven for entertaining in the front living area, design the dining room of your dreams, and find a cozy sitting retreat off the dining space. There’s room for everyone to spread out, and plenty of square footage the next time you’re hosting a crowd! And the thoroughly modern kitchen checks all the boxes—ample storage, a smart layout, plenty of natural light, and even a dining area all make the day to day easier. 

The main level also includes a large bedroom (which would also make a great home office!), and a full bath with laundry amenities. Make sure to take a look at the thoughtful details in the bathroom—penny tile, wainscoting, and a vintage-inspired sink delight. Head upstairs to discover 2 more bedrooms with huge closets (you can really never have enough storage!) and an open loft/office area. 

In the fully fenced backyard that’s nestled in between the home and the detached gatage, your personal getaway awaits your curation! Set up a lounge chair for sunbathing, and let pets play out in the fresh air with peace of mind. Grow your favorite flowers, fruits, and veggies in the raised garden beds. And create a fabulous outdoor living or dining space on the deck where you can barbecue all summer long!
