Perched just above the shoreline, this extraordinary waterfront retreat offers a rare feeling of living on the water--at high tide, it feels as though you're floating aboard a houseboat. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretch across the great room and primary suite, framing ever-changing views of the Sound from your couch, bed, or home office. Watch bald eagles soar, seals play, otters drift by, whales pass in season, and spectacular sunsets paint the sky.Thoughtfully updated with a remodeled kitchen, fresh interior and exterior paint, new floors, and a new water heater, all the work has been done for you--simply move in and enjoy. Spend your days foraging for oysters and geoducks right in front of your home, fishing, kayaking, rowing, swimming, or simply taking in the endless beauty of the waterfront. Cozy winter storms become a front-row event as waves roll against the bulkhead, while every season brings a new perspective on life by the water.Outside, enjoy multiple entertaining spaces with a deck, patio, garden area, and room to create a terraced hillside garden filled with vegetables, herbs, and cutting flowers in a sunny, wind-protected setting. Two parking spaces, a nearby boat launch, and easy access to Gig Harbor provide everyday convenience, with a neighborhood market just down the road.Adventure is minutes away at Gateway Park with hiking, mountain biking, and a playground, while the fireworks over Purdy Spit create unforgettable summer evenings. Commuting is a breeze
