In North Tacoma a cottage stands on a hill over the Salish Sea where sunrise reflects on the water, doubling the light and color as days begin. Enjoy the view from the living room all year and from the deck in summer. Open the gate under the arbor to enter a garden where hydrangeas and roses bloom by a covered porch, then come in to meet this 1905 home with beamed ceilings, a 1/2 bath for guests and two front rooms in addition to the dining room and living room. Upstairs find fir floors, 2 bedrooms, glimpses of the water and a 2nd bath. Updates include a 2018 roof and sewer line, new floors, and a professionally built deck and retaining wall. Set above Old Town with its waterfront dining and less than a mile from Proctor markets and cafes.
Sold - Room To Grow
Half a mile from Wapato Lake and the off-leash park, this one-story home is set on a large lot offering plenty of room to grow. Grow a country garden with tomatoes, peas and all your favorite flowers, or take advantage of the extra space by expanding the footprint of the house. The floorplan is compact, yet comfortable with the living room opening into an eat-in kitchen where morning light fills the east window. Keep tools and patio furniture in the 2-level garden shed. Decorate the classic front porch. Step right in from the fenced back yard to the convenient half bath. Pick plums, hang a hammock, and look forward to hidden tulips blooming in spring.
