Built in 1967 and renovated in 1993, this sweet 2,962 square-foot home sitting on almost three-quarters of an acre evokes original mid-century modern charm. Vaulted wood-planked ceilings create a spacious atmosphere while large windows along the back of the house provide lots of natural light and views of the Tacoma Narrows and bridge. The living room offers a generous space for relaxing or staying warm by the fireplace, and a dining area off of the kitchen is just right for a formal dinner or casual family meal. Enjoy natural wood cabinets and ample storage space in the kitchen, and a bedroom and two bathrooms complete the main floor. Downstairs the daylight basement features an additional two bedrooms and one bathroom, a combination laundry and bonus room, and the large second living room offers endless possibilities as a game room, library, media center, or more. From the back deck you can watch the sun rise or see nature in action with wildlife such as eagles, whales, and dolphins, and the lower patio provides access to a hot tub, lawn, and three Queen Anne cherry trees. A detached garage has three parking spaces, and there is plenty of room on the property for additional parking or to store a boat or RV. Upgrades within the last several years include a new furnace and hot water heater, Graber shades throughout the entire house, skylights, and a new architectural shingle roof.

From this Aqua Vista community it is so close to local conveniences and area attractions. Experience the unique shops, restaurants, and historical sites of the downtown Gig Harbor waterfront, which is just over four miles away.
