New construction in Gig Harbor often means choosing between contemporary design and room to breathe. At 5505 78th Ave NW, you do not have to make that tradeoff. Set on 7.11 acres in the Artondale area, this newly completed home pairs a warm modern interior with wooded privacy, territorial views, and the kind of outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find.
A Modern Design That Still Feels Inviting
The dark exterior and metal roof create a striking first impression, but the interior is anything but cold. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, and generous windows fill the main living area with natural light. The open layout keeps the kitchen, dining space, and living room visually connected, making the home feel relaxed and comfortable whether you are enjoying a quiet morning or hosting a full house.
An electric fireplace anchors the living room, while warm walnut cabinetry and thoughtfully selected tile add texture throughout the home. It is a design that feels current without depending on trends alone—the architectural details and natural materials give the space lasting character.
A Kitchen Designed for Real Life
The kitchen is built to be used. A large island provides plenty of workspace while keeping the cook connected to the living and dining areas. All appliances are included, and the walk-in pantry adds substantial storage, quartz counters, textured subway tile, and a second sink. That extra prep area is especially useful when two people are cooking, when groceries need to be tucked away quickly, or when entertaining calls for more room behind the scenes.
The dining area also gets the space it deserves. It can accommodate a larger table without feeling squeezed into the floor plan, creating an easy transition from everyday meals to holidays and gatherings.
Main Level Comfort and a Private Primary Suite
One of the home’s strongest features is the way the main level lives. The primary suite is positioned on its own side of the house for added privacy and includes direct deck access, a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a private bath. The bathroom offers a soaking tub, dual sinks, and a fully tiled shower with a built-in bench. A washer and dryer near the suite make the daily routine more convenient, and a separate guest powder room serves the main living area.
Flexible Space on the Lower Level
Downstairs, the wood flooring continues into a second gathering space with another fireplace and a bar. This level can easily support movie nights, game days, visiting guests, or multigenerational living. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom provide privacy away from the main-level suite, while a separate flex room can function as an office, hobby room, playroom, or occasional guest space.
The utility room includes a second washer and dryer plus additional storage. A heat pump, central air conditioning, and a high-efficiency system add practical comfort to the home’s thoughtful layout.
Seven Acres to Explore and Enjoy
The acreage is what truly separates this property from a typical new build. Walking trails wind through the grounds, mature trees create privacy, and territorial views open through the landscape. A fire-pit area invites evenings outdoors, while the private sauna brings a wellness retreat right into the backyard. There is also ample room for RV parking in addition to the two-car garage.
Despite the peaceful setting, the home remains convenient to shopping, Uptown Gig Harbor, local schools, and routes toward the waterfront and surrounding communities. It offers the rare feeling of getting away from it all without giving up everyday access.
A Different Kind of Gig Harbor New Construction
With three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, 2,904 square feet, and more than seven acres, 5505 78th Ave NW brings together qualities buyers rarely find in one property: modern architecture, functional living spaces, natural privacy, and room for life beyond the walls of the home.
If you have been looking for a modern Gig Harbor home that feels private, warm, and genuinely connected to the Pacific Northwest setting, this property deserves a closer look.
