Craftsman Perfection in Central Tacoma 

Quintessential Craftsman living beckons from this dialed-in dream home! Situated in a prime Central Tacoma location just blocks to 6th Ave attractions, here you’re wonderfully close to dining, entertainment, shopping, services, transit and more. Time spent at home is an absolute joy as well—original details alongside modern updates create an idyllic backdrop for all that life brings your way. Entertain a crowd in style, relax in the warm and inviting atmosphere, find a private backyard retreat… and more! Located at 827 S Prospect Street Tacoma, WA 98405, this 1,508-square-foot home with 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths is listed for $515,000. 

Standing proud and tall, this turn-key treasure presents the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma history. Traditional 1920s Craftsman design is all the more captivating thanks to the fact that this gem has been lovingly maintained over the years, and it even shows off a brand new roof! A charming front porch greets you, and is a lovely spot to visit with guests and wave to neighbors passing by.

Gorgeous original wood floors flow from the front entryway into sundrenched living spaces. Punctuated by neat trim-wrapped windows and a cheerful, cohesive color palette, this home’s thoughtfully curated aesthetic makes it easy to move right in and enjoy home-sweet-home from day #1! Imagine snuggling up on a comfy sofa in the living room to spend quality time with loved ones, and gathering for weekend brunches and holiday celebrations in the dining room; this is where lifelong memories are made! 

In the kitchen, just a few highlights include the additional eating area with cute benches and wainscoting, updated appliances, and the smart design that makes the most of the space. Additionally, generous cabinetry means you have plenty of room for kitchen essentials, and large counters are ready for you to spread out your ingredients and countertop appliances the next time you whip up a homemade meal or bake your favorite treats. 

The main level also includes a bedroom (which would make a great home office), a bath with double sinks, and even a spacious laundry area. 2 more bedrooms await upstairs, each one featuring sizable layouts. And make sure to take a moment and admire the clawfoot tub in the upstairs bath! 

One of the big benefits of this home is that even though you’re only a couple of blocks from the hustle and bustle of 6th Ave, you have a private fully fenced backyard all to yourself. A deck overlooks the serene scene where you can bask in the shaded stone patio on a hot day, circle around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, let pets play on the lawn, and grill up dinner. A greenhouse is ready to help you get your plant starts going in early spring, and well-tended landscaping offers plenty of opportunity to you to add your own favorite flowers to the mix. Plus, a 2-car garage with alley access provides convenience.
