Renovated Convenience in Central Tacoma 

A brand new chapter awaits—this beloved Victorian-inspired home has been completely reimagined and shines like new! Built in 1908, here you can own a piece of Tacoma history and yet enjoy contemporary style alongside modern amenities. At every turn, this 1,210-square-foot home has been thoughtfully curated and offers a canvas ready for you to infuse with your own personal aesthetic. Permitted renovations transformed this residence in 2021, and the impeccably designed kitchen was remodeled in 2025. That’s only the beginning—this property also has the potential to build an ADU or detached garage (buyer to verify). Located at 2513 S Hosmer Street Tacoma, WA 98405 in Central Tacoma with partial Mt. Rainier views, this 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath home is listed for $465,000. 

Charming curb appeal delights from the moment you arrive home—an inviting pathway leads up to the spacious front porch and deck, and the sunny yellow door opens to reveal this home’s warm and welcoming living area. In 2021, this gem underwent an extensive renovation, and improvements include luxury vinyl plank flooring, windows, interior and exterior doors, updated bathrooms, fencing, gutters, an upgraded electrical panel, and a newer roof. And just wait until you see the kitchen—it’s a total showstopper. 

In the living room, a lovely electric fireplace serves as the focal point of this haven, adding instant coziness to relaxing evenings spent in the comfort of home. Open dining is right alongside the kitchen and offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, so you can take the party outside onto the spacious deck whenever the weather warms up and the sun comes out! 

Ready to capture your heart and showing off exemplary craftsmanship, the well-appointed kitchen was expertly remodeled in 2025. Gorgeous updated cabinetry, attractive countertops, sleek stainless steel appliances, a bold tile backsplash, and even a large walk-in pantry are all part of this smart design. 

Each bathroom has also been updated and sparkles with style, offering a pristine setting for rejuvenating wellness routines. This home’s 3 bedrooms provide flexibility in the years to come, and you’ll find valuable storage space in the exterior-access basement. One of the benefits of this particular lot (which includes alley access) is that there’s the potential to build an attached dwelling unit (ADU) and/or a detached garage (buyer to verify with the City). Bring your dreams and ideas—this property holds incredible potential. 

Whether or not you decide to build, plenty of other opportunities await with this home’s outdoor setting. Of course, you can enjoy the yard as is—there’s room for lawn games and pets—but you might choose to put your green thumb to work designing landscaping and building raised garden beds. You could build a patio for extra entertaining options, or set up a play toy. There’s room for it all! Irving Park is also right across the street, expanding your opportunities for outdoor fun!
