Map & Owner's Profile
Tacoma's Theater Dist. High-End Condos, Monthly Special
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Tacoma
We found this beautiful old building - a dusty gem - in the heart of downtown Tacoma, the Theater District. We saw the raw potential of the area and since purchasing and remodeling our building we are in the center of a lovely new restaurant row, including a new bar and grill "The Office" downstairs in our building. We are proud that our building is also on the local register of historic buildings.
A new Pacific Northwest heavy-hitter anchor tenant, McMenamins is being built less than two blocks away from our building and will feature a music venue, theatrical events, and a brew pub in the grand old historic Elks Building.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love to pamper our guests with condos that are furnished tastefully and include all original artwork. A complimentary bottle of wine, pound of fresh coffee, and chocolates await our visitors and we live on site and are available to help out with restaurant suggestions and information about the wonderful local events and places to visit.
Owner's Map of Tacoma
My name is Laura Hanan and I am an artist and I live and work in my family's 100-year-old historic building with my husband Marty, who is also an artist. Ron Patterson one of our returning guests (& his wife Charnley) generously married us last summer!
My family completely renovated our mixed-use building nine years ago and built two beautiful identical high-end condos featuring custom cherry wood cabinetry, original brick walls, and refinished 100-year-old Doug Fir wood floors. Our original art is throughout the building and we have our studios and a frame shop located in the basement.
We welcome our guests to tour our sometimes messy studios. We also invite visitors to play in our studios and create some art of their own with our help if they want.

Our family had the pleasure of living in this beautiful condo for two months over the summer. It had all the comforts of home and more. However, what we appreciated the most was Laura and Marty's hospitality. They were the ultimate hosts. They made us feel at home from the beginning to the end of our stay. Our children will always remember Laura's thoughtfulness. She dropped off children's books from her own collection and even let us borrow her heirloom rocking horse. If we needed anything, all we had to do was ask, including jump starting our car. The day before we left, we spent a memorable afternoon in Laura and Marty's art studio in the basement of the building. We had the best time painting and creating art together. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We stayed at Laura's condo over the 2009 and 2010 Christmas holidays. The condo is everything you see in the photo's and more---high quality finishes, fixtures, and appliances and beautiful woodwork! Laura keeps everything immaculate and adds special touches that make you feel very comfortable. The location is great with a nice selection of both casual and more upscale restaurants all within walking distance. We would (and have) recommend this great condo to others!

climbnh, 2010-12-21 "Stayed at this apartment for 2 1/2 months and loved it. The place is completely furnished with everything you need. There was even a spray bottle of starch for pressing my shirts. The location downtown is great with multiple restaurants located in walking distance and easy access on and off Hwy 705. The bed and linen were amazing to come home to as well. I would highly recommend this to any one looking to stay in the downtown Tacoma Area."

lrpotvin, 2010-12-11 I recently stayed for a two month period while relocating to the Pacific Northwest. The accommodations were excellent and comfortable. Having a fully equipped kitchen allowed my wife and I to cook in when we wanted to, and dine out in the many local restaurants when we felt like it. The property owner was terrific - made us feel welcome, helped us to find local interest places to visit, where to shop and where to dine, and even loaned us a color printer and helped with WIFI hookup for our laptops! We had a great stay and enjoyed the amenities, comfortable accommodations and proximity to downtown Tacoma and restaurants. Thanks for a great stay!

We regularly travel to Tacoma every quarter and have always been staying in hotels. This time we decided to do something different, and we chose this wonderful getaway - thanks to the our very nice landlady, who was very attentive and made our stay very comfortable. The condo was decorated surprisingly artistic, but did not lose the touch of homely warmth. All amenities were of quality and in abundance. Our nice landlady even provided additional new silverware during our stay knowing we had few days of our daughter staying over. There were little glitches, but were immediately fixed once we informed her. We were very appreciative. Overall, an excellent experience, and we are planning of staying again in this condo over the new year break again - definitely our choice for our future stays in Tacoma!

All reviews posted here accurately reflect our stay. Laura has created an exceptionally clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated home away from home. Her main concern was "taking care of you" and she does that in grand fashion. My standards are quite high and all were met and exceeded. The condo is exactly as appears in photos. Bed is very comfortable; baths were pristine. Highly recommend chosing this location for a Tacoma/Seattle visit or long term rental. You won't be disappointed!!

We knew from the early-arranging time onward that this would B a memorable Xperience & it was. Laura made it easy & fun. The condo was beautifully appointed & utterly comfortable. Laura was incredibly thoughtful with all the little touches like condiments in the kitchen & brochures re: things 2 do. She enabled us 2 Bgin our Xploration of Tacoma immediately upon arrival; dinner at Paddy's Irish Pub right downstairs the 1st nite was delicious & fun. The location of the condo makes the city very accessible. We could not more highly recommend it.

Great Hospitality in Downtown Tacoma

Review Submitted: 08/30/10
As others have noted, this is a very comfortable condo with very hospitable owners. I am surprised that no one has noted that to get to the condo you need to walk up 2 flights of stairs. That was not a problem for me, but it may be a challenge to some. Having enjoyed living in downtown Chicago for a number of years, I loved being able to walk out the door to fun restaurants and bars. Those restaurants and bars can get noisy at night, but that is part of downtown living. If you love being where the action is, this is definitely a lovely place to come home to. I was here for two months and was very happy with the experience.

Staying at one of Laura's flats is a must for downtown Tacoma. Forget the hotels if you can stay a week or more. We stayed a month and it was perfect. Laura made sure we had everything we needed. From the furnishings,wine, chocolates, coffee, and great original art; nothing can compare. Laura was overly obliging, as she has been known to do. We asked her to add a cable channel so we could watch the Tour de France and she had it added immediately. Great space, great downtown location, and the very attentive Laura makes this an awesome find.
