Tucked against a peaceful preserve alive with herons, ducks, and native water fowl, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom home delivers the rare combination of privacy, nature, and everyday functionality. Set on half an acre, it's the kind of property where morning coffee comes with a view and you'll never run out of reasons to linger. Step inside to find fresh interior paint and new luxury vinyl plank flooring flowing throughout the main living spaces, paired with new carpet in the bedrooms for a home that feels crisp, current, and truly move-in ready. Step outside to find high quality clear cedar siding newly painted in 2024. The main level offers a classic, functional layout: a formal living room and dining room for entertaining, a spacious kitchen ready for everyday life, and a cozy breakfast nook and adjacent family room. Updated bathrooms add a fresh, modern touch throughout. Downstairs, the finished basement expands your living space with a warm wood burning stove, and a convenient half bath perfect for a media room, game room, or flex space. A dedicated shop/storage also offers room for hobbies or projects of your own. With its unbeatable setting backing to protected preserve land with SW exposure, this home offers a backyard sanctuary you simply can't recreate; quiet, scenic, and full of everyday wildlife wonder. You'll be surprised by how close you are to services: Uptown Gig Harbor is right around the corner and very easy access to Highway 16!
