POULSBO — The day before her 32nd birthday, dental assistant Crystal Harriman of Poulsbo received a phone call notifying her that she was the recipient of a very special birthday gift.
Harriman’s name was randomly drawn from nearly 43 million entries in the HGTV Urban Oasis® 2015 home giveaway, sponsored by HGTV. Harriman wins a 1,300-square-foot 1920s bungalow in Asheville, North Carolina — newly restored and fully furnished — as well as a 2016 Acura TLX and $50,000 cash provided by national mortgage lender Quicken Loans.
“When I got the call and heard the words ‘HGTV Urban Oasis’ on the other end, my ears went numb. I was in disbelief,” Harriman in an announcement of the win. “I’ve been entering all the HGTV home giveaways since 2010. Now my family is all convinced they should enter too.”
Harriman, who lived briefly in another part of North Carolina, and her family will tour the HGTV Urban Oasis with its interior designer, Brian Patrick Flynn, later this month.
“The newly renovated 1920s bungalow is a haven of relaxed charm, making it a hot property for sustainable urban living at its best in a trendy neighborhood,” HGTV reported.
“The home features an open-concept floor plan with two bedrooms and two baths. Designed by Wilson Architects and fully renovated by JAG and Associates Construction, the home remains indicative of the Asheville style: bold, transitional, creative, vintage, and handmade, with an emphasis on art and practicality.”
