Perfectly situated just off of Soundview Drive and merely blocks into the heart of Downtown Gig Harbor, this mid-century masterpiece presents a truly rare opportunity. Architecturally stunning and impeccably customized and updated over the years, this home’s sprawling 3,824-square-foot layout is designed to showcase the panoramic views as much as possible. Views of the Puget Sound, the Narrows, Mt. Rainier, and Vashon Island stretch on along the horizon, and you can also enjoy views of sailboats, yachts, pleasure boats, fishing boats, and the ferry coming and going. The best of Harbor living awaits! Located at 7024 Soundview Drive Gig Harbor, WA 98335 in a prime location just 1-5 minutes to top local attractions and amenities, this mid-century Gig Harbor home is listed for $1,625,000. 

The entryway offers just a hint of what awaits with the rest of this dialed-in brick beauty! A solid knotty pine door with steel pyramid-shaped detailing and even a big “peephole” that allows you to see who is arriving welcomes you, and just inside you’ll find gorgeous porcelain tile floors designed to look like steel. From here, the palatial layout unfolds with ease.

In the great room, an expansive wall of windows frames breathtaking views of the Puget Sound and beyond. Windows line the entire front of this home to show off the Pacific Northwest in all of its glory, and whether you’re relaxing in the great room or entertaining in the kitchen, you have an idyllic backdrop to admire at every turn. Rich colors and eye-catching textures also characterize the great room; reclaimed “barn wood” accent walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Relax alongside the cozy fireplace, dim the lights, and catch up on your favorite TV shows—the 70’’ flat screen TV stays with the home! 

The open-concept floor plan seamlessly flows into the huge gourmet kitchen and surrounding dining areas. This home was certainly designed with entertaining in mind, and you’ll find more than enough space to host a crowd at your next party or get-together! High-end stainless steel appliances promise top-notch efficiency; a beverage fridge and double ovens are definite highlights, and you’ll also find sleek slab granite counters, knotty alder cabinets, and an abundance of space. Make memories and delicious food—there’s plenty of room for multiple chef’s in the kitchen!

When it’s time to dine, bar-style counter seating, a sunny corner with space for a dining set, and even a built-in dining nook all offer ample seating. The dining nook is especially unique—this space seats 12 and features a stunning red quartz built-in table. Window side seating offers a sunny perch to take in the view, too, while providing storage as well. 

This home includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, and the primary suite is conveniently on the main level. A statement accent wall and gorgeous wood elements create cohesion with the rest of the home, and sliding barn doors open up into the dreamy walk-in closet that includes a built-in organization system. The ensuite bath has been beautifully curated as well, and the bedroom even has sliding doors that offer access to the large patio. 

Wonderful flexibility can be enjoyed with the rest of this home’s bedrooms and the extra-large bonus room. One bedroom has a Murphy bed, and another bedroom is currently being used as a spacious home office. And in the bonus room, the sky’s the limit—you can transform the space into a media room, a hangout with table top games, an exercise/yoga space… and more! You’ll also find a laundry room in the mix, and tons of built-in storage off of the driveway (that helps to create privacy, too). 

One of this 0.4-acre property’s highlights includes all of the outdoor space. On one side of the home, there’s a lovely flagstone patio that’s perfect for sunbathing, relaxing with a good book, or enjoying a hot cup of tea on a brisk fall afternoon. A spacious patio awaits just off of the kitchen and primary bedroom as well. And picturesque landscaping surrounds it all, with an eclectic array of plants, artistic design, and natural elements throughout.

Plus, a sprinkler system helps to keep things looking vibrant and lively.

Focusing on Feeling at Home in Your New State

Guest Post by Laurie Abner

Moving to a new state can be full of excitement and anticipation. Whether it’s for work or family or just because you want a change, the planning you do now will really pay off once you get to your new home.

Narrowing the Search

Start by researching the area in which you will be living in. Check out things like traffic patterns, climate differences, cost of living, and housing availability.

Contacting a real estate agent or leasing agent before you move will help you plan things like your budget, areas of town you can afford, the different school systems, parks, access to shopping and restaurants, and business opportunities for the neighborhoods you’re researching.

A popular choice for many people is Washington State. Celebrated for its business and innovation, drawing in giants like Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia, Boeing, and, of course, Starbucks, it is becoming popular for people wanting to start their own businesses. Areas west of the Cascades in Washington include cool summers and moderate winters, while Eastern Washington is an arid and relatively dry climate.

There is no state income tax in Washington, but you can expect to pay more than the national average in sales taxes. Seattle is the priciest city in the state with the average home price being $859,000

Gig Harbor, WA, near Tacoma, is known for its spectacular waterfront and its breathtaking views of Mount Rainier. Homes there sell quickly in that highly competitive market so get in touch with the experienced professional at The Lee Team who can help you find and close on your dream home before it gets snapped up.

Open for Business

Starting a new business in a new state can be difficult, as there are many different regulations and procedures to go through. Use the ZenBusiness guide on How to Start a Business that can be a roadmap for you to follow to ensure you’re not leaving any important steps out like your business strategy, and structure or the permits you’ll need.

Create a state-specific business plan that includes market research for your new city and state. Include a summary of your sales and marketing strategy, and how you’ll implement them with an operating plan. You can hire a professional business plan writer in your area or create your own using an online template that will not only walk you through the process but allow you to update frequently as your business changes.

Making it Feel Like Home

Once you’ve settled into your new home or apartment, you’ll want to personalize it right away. It’s easy to feel alone and off-balance when you’ve moved to a different state, so having personal touches can make you feel more at home.

If you’re buying all new furniture, check out the local markets before using big chain retailers. Local sellers are more likely to have unique, area-specific items that will blend well with your new surroundings.

Instead of plain walls, consider wallpaper for some of them to add a special feel to the room. Look at peel-and-stick options. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has adhesive backing for easy application, and if the peel and stick wallpaper needs to be repositioned or removed, don’t worry, it doesn’t leave residue behind, which is ideal if you're renting. You can choose from a huge variety of unique designs or upload and order your own custom design.

Don’t forget insurance for your new home either. Homeowner’s insurance only covers damage to your home's structure, theft of belongings, and injuries that happen on your property. If you want a homeowners warranty for appliances and more, you'll need to invest in a home warranty. This is an annually renewable contract that can cover breakdowns to your heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems, along with covering appliance repairs. Before choosing a home warranty company, be sure to read reviews to find a policy that fits your needs and budget.

Every state has its own individual characteristics and what a person looks for in the new state will vary. Wherever you move, keep in mind that it takes about five years for a new place to feel like home. Give yourself time and soon you’ll feel like a real native.

Eye-catching curb appeal makes for a lasting first impression, and this home-sweet-home’s crisp white exterior, classic farmhouse design, and neat landscaping are all ready to delight.

Relax alongside the brick-accented gas fireplace, gather in the sunny dining area, and enjoy time spent in the gourmet kitchen. Sure to become the heart of the home, the impeccably curated kitchen is designed to dazzle. Stainless steel appliances promise excellent efficiency, and a 6-burner gas range and pot-filler offer ease the next time you’re whipping up a delicious homemade meal! Details like the shining backsplash, contemporary light fixture, and wood elements all elevate the scene; daily tasks and entertaining are all more enjoyable thanks to the care and consideration that has been put into the space. Serve refreshments at the extra-large kitchen island, and head out onto the deck (there’s direct access from the kitchen!) for lunch or drinks out in the fresh air. Additionally, a huge walk-in pantry offers ample storage for kitchen and household essentials. 

The main floor also includes the primary bedroom and a luxurious ensuite bath. Each of this home’s bedrooms and baths offers something special—for example, cozy carpets, shiplap details, and plenty of natural light are all in the mix.

When you’d like more storage space or parking, a circular driveway leads to a detached garage. And the rest of this property’s outdoor offerings are absolutely brimming with possibility!
