New Condo in Downtown Tacoma: 428 St. Helens Ave

I’ve listed some really cool condos in Tacoma recently, and this one is no exception! Two things that really stand out about 428 St. Helens are the location, and the parking. This home has a stellar Walkscore (rating 93 out of 100!) and it’s no surprise — there are a ton of great restaurants, bars and shops in the surrounding blocks. The Theater District lies below you,  gorgeous Wright Park is above, with Maxwell’s, The Mix, Carina Bakery, Stink, Tacoma Brewing Co., Puget Sound Pizza, B Sharp Cafe, Over the Moon and many other notable stops in between.

Second item worth noting is the parking. This home has a two-car garage located on the same level as the unit. No elevator ride to take if you forgot your purse in the car, or if you need to use the bathroom before you unload the groceries. (It’s the little things, really). There are only two stairs up from the garage, so that’s a bonus too!

Once you’re inside, you’ll find a property with TWO master suites! They are located on opposite sides of the condo so there’s a little bit of privacy if you’d like to use the second bedroom for guests, a study, a roommate, or your kids. This unit lives like new with updated paint, carpet and kitchen appliances.

If you ask me, the real bonus is the sunroom, which overlooks downtown and Commencement Bay. Not only does this bring a lot of light into the living area and master bedroom, it is also a really practical use of a deck in the rainy PNW. It’s the perfect place to watch the sunrise, or just catch a bird’s eye view of what’s going on downtown.

One other fun fact… this is the first time a unit in this building has been sold on the open market since they were first built in 2003! It’s a small building, with just 4 units total, so there is no large HOA to deal with. The monthly dues just $250, and include common area maintenance, garbage, water/sewer and a few other items.
