Property Description

Sophisticated waterfront home on 495 feet of tidal frontage of which 300 is low-bank, In Minter. Set on 3.77 acres transformed 35 years ago by a Master Gardener into a private arboretum. Mature trees—inc. a 40-ft. redwood—now provide exceptional privacy while allowing selective trimming to enhance sweeping views up Minter Bay into Carr Inlet/Henderson Bay, with Rosedale & Gig Harbor in the distance. The lagoon teems with wildlife: eagles (up to 12 at once), otters, geese, ducks, occasional seals, & a visible salmon run passing just 10 feet away at low tide en route to the state hatchery at Minter Creek. The far end of the lagoon borders Minterbrook Oyster Co. 2,915 sq ft of single-level living (exc. garage), the home features three bedrooms, each with a private full bath, plus a guest half bath. Living & media rooms each have wood-burning fireplaces. The kitchen sits beside a casual nook, with a formal dining room steps away. Six skylights enhance natural light. A laundry room with desk space is conveniently located near the bedrooms. Nearly every room—except dining & media—enjoys water views, and all bedrooms open to a large waterfront deck. A 529 sq ft two-car garage and 400 sq ft +/- lower-level utility/storage area provide ample additional space. Designed as a retirement home with vegetable and flower gardens, the property is mostly fenced, features a timed electric gate, two removable dog runs, and ample firewood supply. Orchard trees are past prime & ready for renewal.
