3009 N Junett Street

In the North End of Tacoma a cottage stands on a hill overlooking the Salish Sea where ferries go from shore to shore, sailboats race and the sunrise reflects on the water, doubling the light and color as days begin. Living room windows show Commencement Bay year round, while summer invites you to the back deck to enjoy the view in the sunshine. Open the gate beneath the arbor to enter a garden where hydrangeas and roses bloom beside the covered front porch, then come inside to get acquainted with this 1905 home with beamed ceilings, a 1/2 bath for guests and two flexible front rooms in addition to the dining room and living room. Upstairs, find fir floors, two quaint bedrooms, glimpses of the water and a 2nd bath. Updates include a 2018 roof and sewer line, ductless heating and cooling, new floors, and a professionally built deck, retaining wall, pergola and arbor. Set above Old Town with its waterfront dining and sandy beach, and less than a mile from Proctor shops, markets and cafes.
