Curated industrial-style meets wonderful low-maintenance living with this studio in a prime Downtown Tacoma location! Featuring a 713-square-foot layout, this studio lives much more like a 1-bedroom condo thanks to the fact that the bedroom area is separate from the main living space. Plus, living at Cliff Street Lofts gives you access to several incredible community amenities, expanding your living space even more! Located at 1120 Cliff Ave #407, Unit 407 Tacoma, WA 98402 and just blocks to dining, shopping, Thea Foss Waterway, transit options and more, this stunning condo is listed for $385,000. 

Fresh paint, new flooring, and other renovations let this condo shine like new, while vintage industrial details add character at every turn. In the main living space, huge windows show off city views, while letting in plenty of cheerful natural light. Soaring high ceilings and exposed beams let the space feel even larger, and decorating this retreat presents so many possibilities. The open layout offers many different ways you can arrange your space as well—there’s ample room for a living area and a dining space, or even a home office nook! 

The contemporary kitchen showcases a captivating blend of sleek appliances and more natural wood elements, while cool gray-silver counters add to the modern aesthetic. A smart layout makes the most of the space and offers tons of storage, and there’s even room to add a kitchen island if you’d like to expand your meal prep and storage space even more. 

When it’s time to unwind for the day, the bedroom area is separate from the main living space, providing more privacy and letting this studio condo live more like a 1-bedroom condo. An eye-catching brick accent wall adds visual intrigue, and you have plenty of room to display your favorite art on spacious walls. You’ll also find a full bath, and a walk-in closet. The walk-in closet is the former utility room, so there are convenient hookups for a washer and dryer that are still intact. 

Living in Cliff Street Lofts in Downtown Tacoma 

At 1120 Cliff Ave #407, Unit 407 Tacoma, WA 98402, you get access to a great variety of community amenities! This summer, head up to the rooftop deck where you can admire breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier, Downtown Tacoma, and Commencement Bay. Enjoy BBQs and entertain guests up here all evening, then enjoy the spectacular view while the sun goes down! Cliff Street Lofts also has many more practical considerations as well; while you have laundry hookups in your walk-in closet, a much better option is the free-use laundry center on the 5th floor (just one floor above this particular condo unit). Additionally, this unit includes a secure storage space on the 3rd floor for all of your extras!  

Cliff Street Lofts is also in a prime Downtown Tacoma location—urban living doesn’t get much better than this!

Just blocks away, you can enjoy dining out at places like Galanga Thai Cuisine, The Old Spaghetti Factory, Fujiya Japanese, Happy Belly eatery & juice bar, and more.

There are reasons and sequence to most everything in life. In the wee hours of this morning, roughly 2:30am, a call from “corporate security failed email attempt notification team” (scammers), awoke me. Shortly after having a private argument about wondering what time zone their automated dialing system must be enjoying, I heard what I thought were the chickens making a ruckus in the chicken coup.

After meandering outside to see what the fuss was about, all I had to do was step out the door onto the deck and SMELL what it was all about. Initially, I thought it was just my little skunk friend poking around the outside of the coup and the girls were just telling him to stay away. I was secretly overjoyed because there had been a squished baby skunk on the road nearby and I had feared it was my new ‘yard-dog’ and grub digger.

Lo and behold, there he was, the little skunky was inside the coup?!!! The fortified coup had been breached. I slowly opened the door with hope that he would make his way out just as the eldest chicken, Zillow, came running out into the dark. Zillow has had a recent knee injury and in her elderly state, has not been able to jump up onto one of the poles in the coup so typically sleeps at the top of the ramp into the doghouse where they lay their eggs. Apparently, the ruckus I heard must have been when my little skunk friend decided he was going to look for eggs, must have startled Zillow which cause her to squawk and him to squirt her.

I did not know, when Zillow came darting out of the coup, and I scooped her up, she was laced with an aromatic oil that would hug me like a toddler wanting out of their napping pen. I still needed to deal with the little skunk in the coup, the other girls were safe and up high on their bars so I just needed to help him find his way out. First, I needed a safe place for smelly Zillow in the darkness. I took her up onto the deck, placed her war-warn self on top of TomTom’s cat bed next to the house. She was safe their in the dark and could rest a bit after her traumatic event.

Back to the coup I went with my little rake in hand that usually props against the door flap on the coup at night. The little skunk had made his way back to the rear corner of the coup and was desperately trying to dig his way out. This is quite a fortified structure minus a couple of bar spaces where he was obviously able to squeeze in by the door. He was in a blind panic, very sad to see any animal that way. I made my way back around to that corner ducked under the bamboo to tap on the rear of the coup thinking he would scoot towards the door. NOPE, I heard the familiar ‘pfffft-pfffffft!’ I guess I did not think that through but at least I was on the outside of the coup and there was not a direct hit except for embedding more wafting oils all over the inside of the coup where the girls must sleep.

I figured I better do some additional strategizing. Now 3:30am, clear skies and a 68 degree summer morning in the Pacific Northwest. As I stood there in the dark, an orange hue from the heat lamps in the coup, I looked up. I looked up and kept looking up as I was pondering what to do next.

It is amazing sometimes in life, what it takes to get us to step back, take a deep breath (not too deep in the place I was at the moment) and look at the stars in quiet contemplation. As I stood there, I watched 5 separate shooting stars dart across what must be an opening in the universe. It made me think about my brother, David, who left us this very month, his birthday month, and must be able to watch this whole charade, from that opening in the universe. I thought about my Grandma, those in Law Enforcement and the Military that I knew, loved, and lost. I thought about where this world, this planet, these shooting stars, may be in a short year. I thought about how fortunate I am and will always be to live in such a magical place. So many thoughts in just 5 moments of shooting stars—time to make wishes of course, mine are always the same so it makes it easy.

Then, I heard a small stir and was back to reality where I saw the poor little skunk was trying the same tactic to dig his way through the wires at the rear of the coup. So, I figured I would sit down on the block wall and just wait. As I sat there, out in front of me I saw some scurrying, it was the Old Norwegian Rat that seems to have decided with he endless food source in and around this yard, it will be his final spot in retirement. He made his way over to the vegetable garden (the obvious culprit for scaling the corn stocks, pealing them on the stock and eating them leaving naked cobs as a small gift of fruits in garden labor) and over to the fig tree for an early morning pick me up snack.

I noticed then how lovely I smelled, the couple of booster squirts from the skunk and poor Zillow being coated in the smelly oils as I held her tight to put her in TomTom’s cat bed, left my hair, face and hands in quite a stinky state. I apparently forgot about that as I gestured to move a piece of hair from my eye since the breeze was making it tickle my face. Word form the skunk wise, DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE’ when you have skunk all over you!

Eventually, with a little patience and space, the little skunk finally made his way out on his own and off for the day he went—another adventure in the making no doubt.

I wonder, where else, anywhere else in the world, could I possibly live, own a home, have a garden, be surrounded by wildlife, see 5 shooting stars in one night…..no where else on the world but this Pacific Northwest Paradise! A home owner’s dream come true!

Discover classic Tacoma charm with this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home-sweet-home built in 1919! This gem still offers much of its vintage charm (including details like original floors!), yet smart upgrades ensure it’s ready to take on the future with ease. A newer furnace, newer attic insulation, a newer attic window for natural light, kitchen updates, and much more all promise that this Tacoma treasure is move-in ready. Plus, all appliances stay including the washer and dryer. Located at 407 South 53rd St Tacoma, WA 98408, this 1,030-square-foot home is listed for $329,000. 

In this video, you’ll find a tour of each space in this residence, and keep reading to check out this home’s top 5 highlights! 

1. Wonderfully convenient location. 

Transit access, grocery shopping, local services, schools… it’s all merely minutes away thanks to this home’s central location. You’re just down the street from Stewart Middle School, which features a community garden, sport courts, and a track that the community can enjoy. Pacific Ave is about a block away, and here you’ll find quick access to bus lines, eateries, and other conveniences, plus you’re only 0.3 miles to Safeway!

Those who commute are sure to appreciate being only a 5-minutes drive to hop onto Interstate-5, and you’re also only a 7-minute drive to the Tacoma Dome Station where you can catch a bus or the Sounder Train all the way to Seattle. 

2. Large & updated kitchen is ready for your home chef’s dreams to come true!  

Featuring a generous layout with an ideal design, this home’s updated kitchen offers that perfect blend of style and efficiency. Details like engineered hardwood floors, a shimmering subway tile backsplash, gorgeous reclaimed wood counters, and eye-catching open shelving lend themselves to the attractive aesthetic, while stainless steel appliances, a gas range and hood, and generous cupboard space are ready to get to work! 

Cheerful natural light pours in through the kitchen window, and the same is true for the rest of the living space that the kitchen looks out into—bright, rejuvenating sunlight delights! The layout effortlessly transitions from the kitchen into the dining area and living room, making it easy to spend quality time with loved ones and entertain guests. 

3. Main bedroom features a *huge* walk-in closet. 

Many older homes (especially those built in 1919!) lack enough closet space, but this vintage home goes above and beyond when it comes to providing storage! In the sizable main bedroom, a huge walk-in closet features a built-in closet system with floor-to-ceiling storage ready for you to move right in and start to unpack. This home’s second bedroom also offers its own built-in closet, and you’ll find even more storage space in the attic.

4. Fresh bathroom sparkles with style. 

This home’s bath provides top-notch modern amenities while embracing vintage flair. Details like crisp white trim hint at this home’s rich history, while more contemporary elements like the tiled tub and shower and the pristine vanity complement original charm.

5. Fully fenced backyard is ready to become your oasis! 

Not only are you in a central Tacoma neighborhood, but you even have your own fully fenced backyard, offering the best of both worlds! A lovely deck overlooks the yard where you can enjoy lawn games or let pets and little ones wander with peace of mind. This lot gets excellent light ideal for growing fruits and veggies, and you can put your green thumb to work cultivating garden beds bursting with your favorite plants. Additionally, a storage shed and alley access offer even more convenience.

Situated in a wonderfully convenient location in the heart of Downtown Tacoma, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home presents a fantastic opportunity! Built in 1892, this home has been updated from top to bottom and is ready for a new chapter. This move-in ready residence also offers the best of both worlds—not only are you surrounded by downtown amenities, but you even have a fenced yard all to yourself. Located at 1712 S L St Tacoma, WA 98405, this 840-square-foot gem is listed for $319,000. 

Here are this Tacoma property’s top 3 highlights you won’t want to miss: 

1. Excellent location 

First and foremost, this home’s central location makes it easy to access some of Tacoma’s very best amenities. Here you’re just down the street from People’s Community Center, a dynamic hub of activities, community happenings, and top-notch amenities (including a pool!) You’re also just down the street from St. Joseph Medical Center and other medical services, and you’re no more than half a mile to local eateries, parks, schools, grocery stores, etc. 

When you’d like to enjoy Downtown Tacoma attractions, you’re only 0.8 miles to Pacific Avenue. Here you’ll find excellent dining, destination shopping, museums, the University of Washington Tacoma campus, theaters and entertainment options, and more. Everything is within an arm’s reach and a short bus ride away! 

Those who commute are also sure to especially appreciate this location—the Tacoma Dome train station is only 7 minutes away, and here you can hop on the Sounder Train and take it straight into Downtown Seattle.  You’re also only a 4-minute drive to connect to Highway 16 and Interstate-5. Plus, Tacoma’s future light rail station has a stop at St. Joseph coming in 2022. Soon you’ll be able to hop on the light rail and get around the area with even more ease. 

2. Beautifully updated home-sweet-home. 

This 1892-built home offers you the opportunity to own a piece of Tacoma’s history, yet it is completely ready for the modern homeowner and is brimming with updates. In addition to new paint (both inside and out) and new engineered hardwood flooring, a new roof will also be completed this month (October 2020). 

The spacious, light-filled layout has been immaculately updated and maintained, and you can move right in and begin to infuse each space with your own unique decor. The spacious living room seamlessly flows into the dining area and the beautifully appointed kitchen, and here you’ll find a smart layout replete with generous cabinetry, large counters, sleek appliances, and eye-catching elements like tile details and captivating light fixtures. 

3. Fenced backyard brimming with potential. 

Imagine living so close to city conveniences, yet having an outdoor retreat that’s yours to curate—you truly get the best of both worlds here! There’s a concrete pad that you could simply use as a parking space (you have alley access from here), or you can transform it into a patio oasis to entertain on. There’s also garden space to cultivate—design landscaping and a manicured lawn, or build raised garden beds to grow your own fresh fruits and veggies. This timeless Tacoma getaway awaits your unique vision!
