Step Onto the Porch of History in Downtown Gig Harbor

In the heart of downtown Gig Harbor, right along the sparkling waterfront, stands a home that has been part of the harbor’s story for more than 135 years. Built in 1888, this rare property is both a piece of maritime history and a welcoming space for a modern lifestyle.

When this home first took its place on Harborview Drive, Gig Harbor was a different world. Fishing boats crowded the shoreline. Families built their days around the tides. The Silver Glide dance hall was the Saturday night hotspot — music and laughter spilling into the streets

Step onto the wide front porch today and you’ll still feel that history. You’ll see the same waters that once carried the first fishing fleets into the Sound. And you’ll notice the walkable charm that’s been part of this community since day one — long before we called it “livable” or “connected.”

Historic Character Meets Modern Comfort

This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home delivers all the character you’d expect from the late 1800s — original details, a front porch made for lazy afternoons, and that authentic warmth you simply can’t replicate. But thoughtful updates make it ready for today’s lifestyle:

Updated kitchen — the perfect spot for your morning coffee ritual.
Remodeled bathroom with fresh, modern finishes.
Garage — a rare bonus in downtown living.
Light-filled living spaces ideal for entertaining or quiet moments with a book.

Life on the Waterfront

From this home, you’re steps away from everything that makes downtown Gig Harbor so beloved. Start your mornings at Susanne’s Bakery, where the lattes and pastries are unforgettable. Wander over to Harbornest, a boutique with that perfect Anthropologie-inspired vibe and cozy finds you didn’t know you needed.

In the summer, the sound of live music drifts from Skansie Brothers Park during the Summer Sounds concert series. The Maritime Festival fills the harbor with parades and boat races. And when the holidays arrive, the town glows, from the tree lighting to the lighted car parade, it’s a season of cozy sidewalk conversations and community spirit.

From your front porch, you’re not just watching the magic, you’re part of it.

Why This Home Matters

Historic homes in prime downtown locations are rare. They carry stories of the past, craftsmanship from another era, and the unbeatable charm of waterfront living.
