This sweet 1,967 square-foot home in an established Gig Harbor community is the perfect combination of rustic charm and functional living. Offering a split-level floor plan, three bedrooms, and two and a half bathrooms, the wooden paneled ceilings, hardwood floors, and natural cupboards add warmth while plenty of windows lend light and freshness. Cozy up by the fireplace in the living room or the wood-burning stove in the den, and on nice days the side and back decks are perfect for taking the party outside or just soaking up the sunshine. Eat in the breakfast nook in the kitchen, or for more formal affairs you can enjoy the ambience of the dining room right off of the living room.
