Perched just above the shoreline, this extraordinary waterfront retreat offers the rare feeling of living on the water. At high tide, it feels as though you're floating aboard a houseboat, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking views from the great room, primary suite, and home office. Watch bald eagles soar, seals and otters play, whales pass in season, and spectacular sunsets and ever-changing skies. Offered for the first time in over 86 years, this is a rare opportunity to own a waterfront property rich in history. Thoughtfully updated with a remodeled kitchen, fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, and a new water heater, all the work is done. Forage for oysters and geoducks from your beach, or spend your days kayaking, fishing, rowing, or swimming. Enjoy winter storms rolling against the bulkhead and the beauty each season brings. Outside, relax on the deck or patio, tend the garden, or create a terraced hillside garden. Two parking spaces, a nearby boat launch, neighborhood market, and easy access to Gig Harbor and the freeway make everyday living easy. Gateway Park is just minutes away with hiking, mountain biking, and a playground, while Fourth of July fireworks over Purdy Spit provide a memorable summer tradition. A remarkable place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories for generations.
