Description

Perched above it all with sweeping views of Mt. Rainier and the Puget Sound, this 1919 Craftsman captures the kind of Pacific Northwest lifestyle people move here for. Just blocks from the trails of Point Defiance Park and the waterfront energy of Ruston Way Waterfront, you can start your mornings with a forest walk and end your evenings watching the mountain glow from your own balcony. Inside, the home honors its heritage with arched entryways, original built-ins, and a cozy window bench that feels...Perched above it all with sweeping views of Mt. Rainier and the Puget Sound, this 1919 Craftsman captures the kind of Pacific Northwest lifestyle people move here for. Just blocks from the trails of Point Defiance Park and the waterfront energy of Ruston Way Waterfront, you can start your mornings with a forest walk and end your evenings watching the mountain glow from your own balcony. Inside, the home honors its heritage with arched entryways, original built-ins, and a cozy window bench that feels pulled from another era. Thoughtful updates bring modern function to the charm—an oversized walk-in pantry, flexible bonus spaces on both the main and lower levels, and a spacious basement with exterior entrance that opens the door to multi-generational living, income potential, or a future ADU. The upper-level primary suite offers a private balcony—your own quiet retreat above the city. Outside, the fenced yard features mature fruit trees and room to garden, entertain, or simply relax. A detached two-car garage off the alley adds convenience and extra storage. Set in one of Tacoma’s most beloved neighborhoods, this home isn’t just about square footage—it’s about possibility. Walkable, view-filled, and rich with character, N Pearl invites you to live fully, explore often, and make it entirely your own.
