Anyone who knows me knows I’m into collecting cars. There are many reasons why, not the least of which is “the search”. The holy grail in the collector car game is a “one owner completely original” car.  Even better, if that special car had been featured in a national publication, extolling its unique characteristics and memorializing its original condition! How exciting is that?!

Why wouldn’t we, why couldn’t we, apply that same sentiment that works in the car collecting world to a late mid-century home?

Come tour this amazing Gig Harbor home originally featured in Family Circle magazine when it was new in 1977 and being offered for sale now for the first time ever!

As you enter, you’ll find the floor plan uncommonly open for a home built in the 70’s.  It is both clever and functional with no wasted space.  The design allows a tremendous amount of natural light to flood the home on both floors.

The Great Room is part of the open concept floor plan that features beautiful woodwork and a cozy fireplace for the chilly nights in the Pacific Northwest.

Enter the kitchen and see the inspiration of clever functionality designed to compliment the late mid-century era. It truly feels like you’re taking a step back in time! While you’re here, flip through the Family Circle Magazine and enjoy a 7 page layout along with the story of this home and how it all came to be 🙂

The hub of this home will not disappoint with a remodel that includes a breakfast bar for casual dining and so much more…

Enjoy the extra storage space for all your specialty service-ware in this awesome long counter with granite top. Notice all windows? Open them up to let a nice cross breeze come through! The slider just ahead leads to the covered outdoor living room.

Head into the kitchen where the chef will spend countless hours creating! This kitchen is crisp and clean in white cabinetry. Enjoy the luxury of soft close cabinets and there is ample granite counter space as well. The window above the sink overlooks the outdoor living room!

All appliances are included featuring double ovens, a newer dishwasher, a smooth cooktop, refrigerator/freezer and a built in microwave. There is also full length tile back splash for added style completing this amazing look!

This kitchen includes a convenient eating space for a more casual meal and also features double, under-mounted sinks. Notice how much light filters through this area? The stairs you see here on the left lead you to the family room.

Just head up 5 short stairs from the kitchen to the family room complete with a fireplace. The owners tell us that some of their favorite memories were shared taking family photos of multiple generations, year after year and that there was room for 5 holiday trees in this home, wow!

You’ll enjoy all three bedrooms on the main floor of this well thought out floor plan. Head into the Master Suite…

The Master Suite is complete with a 3/4 bath and a large walk-in closet that has built in shelving.

The layout of the Master Suite feels like a fancy hotel getaway!

One of two additional bedrooms

The full bath on the main floor will not disappoint with a stylish granite vanity sink and hardwood flooring.

The third bedroom would also make for a perfect office/den if a 3rd bedroom is not needed.

And now for the pièce de résistance!! Head outside to this awesome covered outdoor living room where you’ll gather for days on end with friends, family and some great times! Invite them over to watch the football game while barbecuing and enjoying the beautiful, pacific northwest summer and fall weather!

The deck has plenty of space to place your favorite outdoor furniture, relax and enjoy! Pick up your groceries at convenient shopping centers nearby like Trader Joes, Fred Meyer or Walmart Supercenter and stock your fridge. Why not make a great meal in the kitchen or on the barbecue and dine alfresco in the sun?

Fire up the barbecue and let the good times begin!

Enjoy the convenience of a sprinkler system to keep the meticulously maintained grounds lush and beautiful.

There’s plenty of space for the fur babies and the littles to stretch out and play in this fully fenced and private back yard!

You’re gonna LOVE University Place WA , a very desirable place to call home known for its award winning schools including the Charles Wright Academy. And because this town is in close proximity to Joint Base Lewis McChord, I-5 and Highway 16 as well as Downtown Tacoma, you’ll be just a 15-20 minute drive away from where you need to get to!

If you enjoy a round of golf you’re in luck because nestled on the shores of the Puget Sound is host of the 2010 Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open! Chambers Bay Links Golf Course is an inspired tribute to the ancient linksland of Scotland. After your round of golf or just a mildly challenging walk with the kiddos around the 3 mile loop surrounding the course, recharge at the Chambers Bay Grill, known for both its delicious food and panoramic views. It is the perfect place to celebrate the end of a round or simply enjoy the splendor of the Puget Sound, the majestic Olympic Mountains, and expansive golf course views… and I hear the Bloody Mary’s are fantastic! Don’t forget to check out the Off-Leash Dog Park and huge play area for the kiddos while you’re there!
