Prime Sandy Beachfront Home with Mountain Views - 5 minutes to Gig Harbor/Tacoma
A serene family beach home get-away. Ideal for several couples and an inspiring work-away option for those needing beauty and a quiet break from the city with easy access to adventure and abundant amenities. (Just minutes from downtown Gig Harbor or Tacoma. 45 minutesfrom Seattle). This beautiful mid-century modern home is in a quiet neighborhood. The no-bank, private, sandy beach is teeming with sea-life. The place is perfect for walks, paddle-boarding, kayaking, bonfires, picnics, water play, or just relaxing. It is beautifully appointed with hardwood floors, a serene interior, and floor-to-ceiling windows that celebrate the spectacular ever-shifting seaside, mountain and marine life views.
The house features high ceilings in an open plan with kitchen, dining area, and large living room all looking out on the water. There is a completely private upstairs master bedroom & bath with a panoramic beach view and a flexible extra room, (exercise/crib room/work area). Sliding glass doors access a private balcony. (A perfect place for morning coffee) The Large main-floor bedroom includes folding wood doors with the ability to divide off an additional bedroom that can accommodate two singles or be opened up into a larger (play/work/exercise) area. The third bedroom has a private entrance. Internet and television screens are available.
If you want to use the place s a jumping-off spot for other adventures, everything is close at hand. Whether it be a shopping run, an evening at the theater or fine dining, Gig Harbor and Tacoma are minutes away. You can explore everything from narrated water tours (destinyharbortours.com), to hiking or biking a variety of area parks and open spaces, to shopping along the Gig Harbor waterfront or the boutique stores at Uptown Gig Harbor. In Tacoma, visit historic Fort Nisqually at Point Defiance, Washington History Museum, Museum of Glass or LeMay Car Museum. Book some links time at the stunning Chambers Bay, challenging Canterwood, nearby Madrona Links or numerous other area golf courses.
Or you can just settle in and relax! Sink your toes in the sand. Gather beach treasures. Skip some stones. Explore the wonder of life at low tide. Toast marshmallows around a crackling evening bonfire. Savor a morning seaside stroll with the Blue Heron. Count bald eagles, otters, seals, pilot whales and orcas. Brave the frigid waters for an early kayak trip on a pristine mirrored bay. Grab a book and lie in the sand while you soak in welcome summer sun. Savor a warm mug of winter cocoa blanketed in a cozy enclave on a rainy afternoon. Watch the shifting patterns of wild waves on a blustery, grey-stormy day. Marvel at the intensity of light, color and shadow in epic 180 degree sunsets. (Yes. SUNSETS! Your friends will grow tired of your sunset posts....) Indulge your creative side: play a little spinet piano, write some poetry, make some coffee, bake some cookies. Be ALIVE! This is the magic of the Puget Sound. The Salish Sea. Welcome!
