First time on the market since 1987! Set on Tacoma's desirable West Slope, this 5-bedroom, 3,470 sq. ft. home pairs sweeping views with a beautifully established setting and the ease of main floor living. Western exposure captures incredible sunsets over the bay, Olympic Mountains and Narrows Bridge. An inviting entry opens to a beautifully laid out interior with original hardwood floors and abundant natural light. Distinct living, dining and gathering spaces, including a wood-paneled den with fireplace and bar, give the home a timeless feel, while large windows frame the incredible view. A spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and heated bathroom floors, along with a second bedroom, complete the thoughtful main floor layout. Outside, mature landscaping, manicured hedges, expansive lawns and a large lavender garden create a private and beautifully established setting. The covered back deck with outdoor fireplace is made for dining, entertaining and sunset evenings, while a lower patio and additional seating areas offer even more ways to enjoy the outdoors. Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years, this home reflects true pride of ownership. Improvements include a new sewer line, all-new plumbing, new furnace, solar panels and updates to all other major systems, with a pre-inspection report available. A two-car garage, attic storage, and easy access to the waterfront, shopping, dining and commuter routes complete this special West Tacoma home.
