Built in 1952 and boasting mid-century design and one-level living, this expansive 2,975-square-foot home includes 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, stylish living spaces, a den, and a huge unfinished basement. Those who enjoy spending time outside and gardening are especially in for a treat—this property boasts an exquisite garden and impressive landscaping straight from the pages of a home and garden magazine. Located at 1333 N Cascade Ave Tacoma, WA 98406 and just minutes to city convenience, this mid-century masterpiece is listed for $525,000.

Lovingly maintained over the years, this home is replete with mid-century vintage elements that so many of today’s homeowners admire. In the living room, abundant sunlight pours in through oversized windows, and you can kick back and relax as you take in views of the Narrows Bridge and gorgeous western sunsets. Details like the beautiful brick fireplace, wood paneling, and wood beams overhead all contribute to this haven’s 1950s character while creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere you’ll love spending time in.

The layout flows right into the spacious, light-filled dining area, and from here the kitchen is right at your fingertips. The kitchen offers modern convenience, and granite counters rest alongside generous cabinetry. There’s even easy access to the washer/dryer from here, making it as easy as possible to multitask.

This home’s palatial layout is brimming with versatility, and the den and 3 bedrooms offer flexibility in use. The master bedroom features a wall of built-in storage options, and the ensuite bath is a blast from the past with its classic period tile! Even more potential awaits in the sprawling unfinished basement—you could easily keep it as is and use it for storage, or transform it into an additional living area, hobby space, office, fitness center, etc.!

When it’s time for some fresh air, this property is the absolute picture of outdoor bliss. As soon as you pull in the driveway, the front garden makes for a truly memorable first impression. Immaculate landscaping features a myriad of plants to enjoy, and a charming pathway winds its way through the front yard. A section of raised garden beds is ideal for cultivating your very own fruits and veggies, and a patio is perched at the top of the hill, offering views of it all! The patio extends toward the backyard, and here you’ll find fenced privacy with a shady sitting area in a cabana, and of course, even more room to put your green thumb to work!
