As one of Gig Harbor's most preeminent and iconic estates, this masterfully executed Mediterranean Villa is a monument to fine living. While the architecture is a striking departure from traditional PNW, the lifestyle it offers is the absolute realization of the dream. It's an experience beginning as the astute gates open to a grand entry courtyard, manicured gardens and 1-BR guest house, instantly transplanting you to a seaside villa on the Cote d'Azur. Inside, a blend of French chateau elegance and Italian villa soul creates a study in voluminous intimacy; 20-ft ceilings, natural stone, warm woods and incredible chandeliers. Crafted with old-world luxury and forever-home livability, the primary rhythms of daily life--including a palatial primary suite--unfold on the main floor. For the ultimate host, the culinary wing features a showpiece kitchen flowing into a full-scale scullery; all the hospitality, none of the clutter. Exceptional discoveries continue beyond the great room: 21 sets of handcrafted French doors, glass breakfast nook, moody subterranean stone wine cellar, media room and bar, and a private tower retreat. The covered waterfront veranda delivers unrivaled, front-row views of the Narrows, Pt. Defiance, Vashon Island, the ferry, and Mt. Rainier, backdropping stunning gardens and constant activity from eagles, wildlife, and whales. Combining gated seclusion with a walkable connection to downtown, this is a trophy estate not to be missed!
