How would you like to start off 2018 by winning your ultimate dream home? You could if you’re one of the luckiest people on the planet. And if you don’t mind moving to Gig Harbor, Washington.
The start of the HGTV Dream Home 2018 Giveaway is just a little over a week away, and we’ve got some details and a look at the house for you today. First, let us tell you that the prize package is worth over a whopping $1.8 million. And not only do you get the fully-furnished house, you also win a brand new Honda Accord and $250,000.
HGTV’s latest dream home was transformed by renowned interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn. He took the once outdated home and turned it into a luxurious modern waterfront getaway.
The house is just about 3,500 square feet and has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The updated and luxurious interior is only half the charm of the house. The outside overlooks the waterfront and is nestled among a lush forest. It’s truly an escape from reality. Wait until you see it.
So what and where is Gig Harbor, Washington?
Discovered in 1840 and incorporated in 1946, Gig Harbor is one of the most picturesque small cities in America. The city was named from the Wilkes Expedition in which the crew entered the harbor in a longboat called a “captain’s gig”. These three fisherman rowed from British Columbia to Gig Harbor and decided to stay.
Gig Harbor is one of several cities and towns that claim to be “the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula”. It is located on Gig Harbor Bay in Puget Sound across the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. Due to its close access to several state and city parks, and historic waterfront that includes boutiques and fine dining, it has become a popular tourist destination.
