Gig Harbor Dream Home on 1.6 Idyllic Acres 

Nestled on 1.6 acres of manicured beauty, this grand and generous home-sweet-home is tucked away in a peaceful and private neighborhood in Gig Harbor’s picturesque Artondale area. A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this extraordinary residence really does have it all—the 4,856-square-foot layout includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths alongside sprawling living spaces curated to perfection. You’ll also discover lovely views of the shimmering Puget Sound and scenic islands off in the distance! Located at 3116 81st Avenue Ct NW Gig Harbor, WA 98335 in the Artondale area and no more than 10 minutes to Highway 16 and Uptown Gig Harbor, this home is listed for $1,500,000.

Unwind in tranquility, host guests in style, and let life unfold with ease—this dreamy forever home is an absolute joy to spend time in. From the entryway with soaring ceilings, carefully maintained hardwood floors seamlessly flow from formal spaces to open-concept living. Elegant crown molding elevates the aesthetic in the formal living room and dining room, and even more thoughtful design awaits in the kitchen, adjacent dining area, and additional living room. 

In the living room at the back of the home, immaculate built-ins rest alongside the cozy wood-burning fireplace with a gas log lighter. Large picture windows frame the photo-worthy setting out back, while inviting in cheerful natural light. Relax and catch up with loved ones after a long day, gather in the adjacent dining area for laid-back dinners, and finally have the chef’s kitchen you’ve always wanted! 

The kitchen is a true masterpiece; large granite counters, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, an oversized island with seating, ample storage in timeless cabinetry, custom roll-out drawers, and even a built-in desk are all at your fingertips.

Not only is the kitchen packed with practical efficiency, but the rest of this home promises effortless comfort as well. A newer AC unit keeps things comfy no matter the time of year, and there are 2 generators and 2 water heaters (one gas and one electric). 

The main level also features the expansive primary suite getaway. Not only is the bedroom extra-large with more than enough room for a king-sized bed and a sitting area, but you’ll also find dual walk-in closets and an indulgent spa-inspired 6-piece ensuite bath (there are dual toilets, one with a bidet). Relax with a bubble bath in the updated deep bathtub, and rejuvenate in the luxe oversized shower. 

One of the top benefits of this home is all of the versatile square footage you have to transform and use as you please. Additional bedrooms, an enormous office (with exquisite built-ins), a rec room (complete with a gas fireplace, wet bar, fridge/freezer combo, deck), and an enormous 2nd floor rec room (with views of Fox Island, the Fox Island Bridge, and Puget Sound) are at the ready. There is also a heated 3-car garage with a workspace, and not only is it wired for a generator, but it features freshly grinded and sealed concrete flooring. Bring your projects and hobbies! Plus, 2 spacious sheds (one with electricity) offer great storage. 

In the backyard oasis, a spectacular setting shows off jaw-dropping beauty. Landscaping is brimming with a huge variety of shrubs and trees, and a 19-zone sprinkler system keeps everything looking lush. Admire views of it all—including water views—from the back patio. There’s also a fenced dog run, and backyard grounds that can be used for extra parking, a sports court, or other building structures.
