Home is about place, detail and character. Here, the place is Proctor where the farmers market draws fresh flowers, wild mushrooms and ripe tomatoes. Where the cinema, library, cafe and grocery wait down the street, where the bell rings and kids fill the sidewalk. The details: a new roof in 2020, updated sewer and a fenced back yard. The character, now that’s where the fir floors, covered porch, snowball bush, begonias in the window boxes and arbor arching over the path come in. There’s a story here in which the 2nd floor could be another bedroom, maybe the back bedroom is an office, maybe a table stands in the living room corner to catch the morning light and the car doesn’t leave the garage much since the trails of Puget Park are calling.
Sold - North Tacoma Living
Half a mile from University of Puget Sound and the markets of Proctor stands a home with a fenced back yard, plenty of work-from-home space, off-street parking and room for a garage.

Make home on this calm and quiet North Tacoma block where the bustle of a farmers’ market, campus life and cafés are near neighbors; the best of both worlds.
