A postcard-perfect Tudor perched above Commencement Bay offers a rare bit of Hollywood-adjacent bragging rights.
The six-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 2910 N. 28th Street spans roughly 4,596 square feet and sits on a picturesque cul-de-sac in one of Tacoma’s most charming neighborhoods. Asking price? $2.5 million.
And for movie fans, the address comes with a fun bit of trivia: the home sits just two doors down from the house where the Stratford sisters lived in the 1999 teen classic “10 Things I Hate About You.”
Storybook Charm With Modern Touches
The stunning home blends old-world character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Built in 1912, the Tudor features detailed woodwork, built-in cabinetry, and tall ceilings that give the main living spaces a sense of warmth and scale.
The grand living room centers around a large fireplace and wide windows that frame sweeping views of Commencement Bay and Puget Sound.
According to the listing from Compass Real Estate, the home was designed to capture those views from multiple angles throughout the property.
Built-in window seating and generous dining areas create cozy spots for everything from quiet mornings to lively dinner parties.
The chef’s kitchen includes Wolf appliances and connects seamlessly with the dining space, making the main floor well-suited for entertaining.
But the home’s most modern twist comes from a dramatic glass addition completed in 2023 by Steven Sparks Architecture. The contemporary room features a built-in barbecue, fireplace, and TV area designed for gatherings, along with a breezeway connecting the space to a two-car garage.
Other amenities include an elevator, EV charging capability, two fireplaces, and separate lower-level living quarters.
A Home That’s Drawing Attention
Since hitting the market in late December, the property has already attracted significant attention online. The listing has been viewed more than 3,000 times on Zillow alone.
