Fox Island's Not The Fox New Network


Fox Island Didn’t Stem from the Fox New Network

If you’ve dreamt of grand living on an island there’s plenty to choose from here on Fox Island.  No, it isn’t named after the Fox News Network and the residents aren’t known as Foxites.  Instead it’s just a stone’s throw away from Gig Harbor across the only access bridge to the island.  People like it because it’s off the beaten path and offers a certain amount community or privacy.  A listing of the variety of community events can be found at http://foxislandwa.net/events.asp.

I began this using the term “grand living” because the homes I’m reviewing today include 12 homes on the island, all listed for more than a million dollars.  Of the twelve, nine are beautiful waterfront homes offering a variety of water views.  Three of the 12 even have docks exceeding 100’ and capable of mooring your vessel of choice.  Several are situated on acreage and one even can be referred to as an equestrian property.

The homes vary in age with the oldest having been originally built in 1949 and one is just in the process of being completed.   Be assured that those in-between have all be updated with the finest craftsmanship and fixtures available.  Consequently, the term “grand living” evolved. 

Of course I recognize that many of these homes have styles and arrangements which were often created for specific residents with very precise, sometimes unique needs.  I mention that because, while most of the waterfronts are stunning, each home has its own personality.  Sometimes those qualities and characteristics just don’t match well with every buyer.  As such, to find the one that’s just right for you and your family, it’s important to consider multiple properties.   

For more information or to arrange private showings, please call me.  I’m available at (253) 370-5626 or my email address is kthiem@msn.com.  Everyone calls me Ken.

Until I hear from you, please have a Blessed Day and Week ahead.
