Light, style, and a wealth of character fill this beautiful home in Old Town Tacoma. It is wonderfully situated within walking distance of Commencement Bay and its many restaurants, cafes, and bars.
This two-story home sits just a few blocks from the water in Old Town, giving you lovely scenery and easy access to the best of Tacoma. You'll be within a mile of the University of Puget Sound and less than four miles from the Tacoma Dome, the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and the ferry to Vashon Island.

Built in 1910, this home blends its century-old history with contemporary pops of color and pattern. After a day of exploring the city, come home to unwind in a front parlor with large windows, modern yet comfortable seating, and a TV to screen your favorite movies.

The kitchen is well-equipped, offering bold backsplash tile, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast nook for cozy morning meals. Just off the kitchen are a formal dining room with a fireplace and wainscoting that add warmth and atmosphere, a rear office with a desk workspace, and a full laundry room.

Of the bedrooms, the primary suite is downstairs on the main floor, offering its own TV, bathroom, and access to the backyard. There are three bedrooms - all with walk-in closets - upstairs, including a charming kids' room with a darling play nook.

Tacoma home
Overall the house was great for location & space. The outside could have used some trimming & cut back bushes so we could use the sidewalk. The back gate was hard to latch & our small dog found a hole in the back fence

Dissatified
1. I found Vacasa very unprofessional in communicating with me, in a timely matter, before our stay. 2. when ask to move the dates 1 day out I was quoted an unreasonably rate. 3. It was bear bones.. examples: no salt & pepper, no coffee, other little things other hosts have included ( I could have stayed at hotel) 4. 2 different emails with 2 different entry codes, so we started our stay with a game of guessing. 5. there was a beautiful patio with outdoor chairs, the weather was beautiful, outdoor pads on furniture would have been nice. Overall, I will figure something else out for future visits to Tacoma. We are expecting our first grandchild in June, so I'll have to take my business elsewhere.

Nice home!
We loved the house and space. Unfortunately, we had 2 unanswered messages to the hosts. The lack of communication was really disappointing. The house itself and view of the water was beautiful!

Tacoma stay
Great place, my family really enjoyed the atmosphere and it felt like a temporary home. Couldn't let the dog stay outside though, the yard was not fenced as advertised. Creaking doors upstairs woke the 2 year old at night. Could use some more glass tumblers for drinks.

Fun location!
The house is in a great location! The listing shows all the rooms perfectly. The house was clean and well equipped. Communication was very limited. The house had a unique smell and we couldn’t open windows due to no screens anywhere in the house except for one upstairs bedroom.

Graduation Celebration
Our 7 member family gathered for a week in this lovely spacious home in quiet neighborhood which was within easy walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants on Tacoma waterfront. The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The description states two parking spots in back of house, but recommend only one car park there as it is very tight quarters for entering & exiting or risk scraping your cars on retaining walls. Would have liked a bit better communication from owner prior to visit regarding a few questions that i had regarding backyard seating (none) and parking. Overall, would still recommend the home for stay.

Spacious, clean, great location
We stayed in this beautiful home for my daughter’s college graduation. Had ample rooms and beds. Home and linens were very clean. We all enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and walking to The Spar for cocktails and live music on Saturday night. Would definitely stay again if we needed a large home in a great area of Tacoma.

Beautiful house; great location
Spacious and bright, with a lovely view of Commencement Bay - this house was a pleasure. Beds were all comfy, and four adults had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. I plan to stay here again the next time I am in Tacoma for a conference.

Beautiful! * Family of 6 *
I decided on this house based on the interior style & price point. We arrived and the house was just as pictured! It was clean and we felt immediately comfortable. The character, charm and decor was sweet and reminded me of my grandmothers house. We felt perfectly at home there. At first we were concerned with the lack of curtains but that quickly passed - it’s a safe area and the house is high above street level. Its a lovely neighbourhood, super close to the water and walking trails. The only thing I would suggest, is adding screens to the windows or doors. It would be super nice to air it out and let the fresh air in! Even if only in the upper rooms, I think it would add to the experience. Overall great place, would recommend and stay again!
