WATERVIEW MODERN

Overlooking Commencement Bay, this newly completed home by Dephiance Design Build affords the best in modern living with panoramic water views.

Like the city itself, this contemporary North Tacoma view home is a study in contrasts. Modern but not cold, luxurious but never pretentious. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture stunning views but also create striking form… they are particularly dramatic when paired with the 20' tall steel fireplace surround.

This site is unique in its proximity to nature & Tacoma’s newest urban center, Point Ruston. Imagine being as close to dinner & a movie as you are a paddle along Commencement Bay.

The Chef’s kitchen features a 48” Wolf dual fuel double oven with 6-burner range, 11’ quartz island and custom built walnut cabinets. Orientation of the rooms was crafted to take advantage of water & nature views and naturally light filled spaces. Outdoor spaces were given equal attention; the covered deck could easily become this home's center. Here, with the gas fireplace and infrared patio heaters, you can entertain year-round.

The well planned layout continues on the upper floor with the primary suite view deck, large walk-in closet, spa-like bath with oversized shower and heated tile floors. Four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, feature ensuite bathrooms, offering incomparable flexibility and providing the perfect space to accommodate every lifestyle.

Additional elements include two laundry rooms, ground level living area with wet bar, beverage fridge, 400+ bottle temperature controlled wine cellar, mud room, garage with EV charger. Prime location with quick access to freeways (10 minutes to I-5) provide the unique ability to equally enjoy the amenities of city life while feeling immersed within natural surroundings.  

From the Architect:

"As always, we approach design with an eye on how to best maximize the opportunities presented by the lot. Taking into account views, micro climate, how we live both privately and how we socialize and present ourselves to the community. We wanted the house to be a statement. The exterior contemporary modern style isn’t overstated, but subtly and without pretentiousness has an identity that is unrivaled. Intersecting forms providing hierarchy and glimpses at what might be on the interior. The exterior blends itself into the interior in subtle moments that give the home a certain charm and identity that no others in Tacoma area have previously provided. This home was designed with the future owner in mind. Room for them to have privacy and plenty of opportunity to share moments together and enjoy the spaces, view, and fabric (train and Ruston waterfront activity) of the neighborhood together. Orientation of the rooms were crafted to take advantage of views and afternoon/evenings with naturally light filled spaces. The dining room affording more of a private space backed into nature while still providing filtered views through the Architecture setting the occupants squarely in the middle of the Architecture, whether they are cognizant of this or not. While the exterior presents a more masculine feel, the interior was crafted to balance this statement with delicate touches of colors, and tactile light fixture fabrics."
