Family emergency forces sale! Well below appraised value! Welcome to peace and tranquility, where everyday living feels a little more tucked away, yet everything you need is just minutes from your door. Set at the end of a private drive and wrapped in a canopy of tall firs, this home offers a sense of retreat while still being within easy walking distance of downtown Gig Harbor. Inside, the layout naturally brings people together. A generous kitchen island anchors the space, flowing into an open living area that's ready for everything from casual mornings to lively gatherings. Just off the kitchen, a sunlit deck invites you outside, perfect for summer dinners or a quiet cup of coffee surrounded by trees. The lower level expands your options even further. With its own bedroom, full bath, and partial kitchen, the basement easily adapts to your needs, whether that's hosting guests, creating a second living space, or setting up the ultimate hangout for cinema nights. You'll also find two large workshop or craft rooms. Beyond its classic cedar shake exterior and thoughtfully finished interior, this home has a hidden advantage: solid poured concrete walls that add an extra layer of strength, quiet, and energy efficiency-built for comfort today and resilience for years to come. From afternoons at nearby parks to evenings barbecuing, this home strikes a rare balance between close-in convenience and peaceful seclusion, making it feel like a getaway you get to call your own.
