12718 131st Street NW

Some homes feel like an event. This one feels like relief! The kind of place where you pull in, exhale, and the day's commute is already behind you. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac of just ten homes in Gig Harbor, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence sits on a 2.02-acre lot. Of that, a generous, level portion is manicured and ready to enjoy, with roughly an acre of forest behind offering privacy and that Pacific Northwest feel, and a retention area to the side adding further separation from neighbors. It's the kind of street where neighbors wave from the garden, where it seems like everyone coordinated the time to wash the car, and the layout was built for today's busy lives. The home itself is superbly move-in ready and nearly new again, with a brand new roof, fresh paint inside and out, new carpet throughout, and a new water heater. Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open layout keep things bright and easy, while the more informal spaces are tucked perfectly on their own level with the fireplace. The kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast nook adds a nice everyday touch. Cement plank siding keeps upkeep low, and behind the scenes the septic system has been resealed and is ready for the county report, with the crawl space professionally cleaned and pest remediation completed. Outside, there's an RV parking area and still plenty of room to enjoy the yard or just let the trees do the work. All the hard work is done. Just settle in.
