A Garden Retreat in Gig Harbor
Set on an oversized lot in the heart of town, this single-story home offers quiet, garden-wrapped living just minutes from downtown.
Set on an oversized 0.36-acre lot in the heart of Gig Harbor, this single-story home sits behind mature landscaping and garden beds that have had years to settle in. It is the kind of lot size that is hard to find this close to town, close enough to downtown and uptown shops, restaurants, and the waterfront to walk or bike, yet private enough to feel like its own quiet corner of town. Highway 16 is minutes away, putting Tacoma and Bremerton within easy commuting distance.
Built in 1968 and updated since, the home holds onto its single-level simplicity across 1,658 square feet, with three bedrooms and two baths arranged for everyday ease. Out back, a detached garage with an attached storage shed keeps tools, bikes, and gear organized and out of the house, while the finished attic above adds flexible square footage for whatever the season calls for — an office, a playroom, extra storage.
Inside, new flooring runs beneath large windows that keep the main living spaces bright through the day. Updated countertops and a stylish backsplash bring a current feel to the kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room for cooler evenings in. The layout flows easily between living, dining, kitchen, and family room, the kind of open connection that makes gathering simple, whether it's a weeknight dinner or a full house on the weekend.
This is a home built around slow mornings in the garden and easy evenings by the fire, with the shops, restaurants, and waterfront of downtown Gig Harbor just a few minutes away whenever you're ready for more. Schedule a showing today and see what this garden retreat close to town has to offer.
