About This Home

As of August 2025

Located on coveted Shirley Ave, this estate-like 3-bed, 2-bath rambler is tucked behind evergreens and lush mature landscaping. This legacy property offers rare privacy & sweeping, jaw-dropping views of Mount Rainier, sailboats, sunrises, sunsets and the sparkling Gig Harbor waterfront. A peaceful driveway wrapped in tall trees leads to wide-open vistas and cozy coastal living. Inside, enjoy granite counters, a vaulted primary suite, and a spa-like 5-piece bath with soaking tub. This property is just steps from the Cushman Trail and an easy stroll to the iconic walkable coastal village of Gig Harbor, where visitors flock to quaint shops, pubs & cafes. Walk to grab coffee, meet old friends & simply soak up the Harbor charm—it’s pure delight.
