Enjoy the incredible views from this lovely custom-built waterfront home that will take your breath away. The house offers 270 deg. unobstructed waterfront views. A secluded setting with a large green belt on one side and a house set back from visibility on the other. Sit in the solarium and watch the eagles fly right overhead or fish in the water below you while drinking your morning espresso from our machine.
You'll enjoy unobstructed views of Puget Sound, the Cascade mountains and Mt. Baker from virtually every room in the house. Watch the ever changing activity of cruise ships, sailboats, tankers or an occasional nuclear submarine from our large deck or our cozy solarium. The natural planted landscaped yard is designed for the enjoyment of the wildlife, privacy and easy maintenance and features a tranquil pond and natural woodland setting. We leave plants with seeds for the wildlife to feed through the winter. There is a trail behind the house leading down to the beach. At low tide enjoy a walk exploring over a mile of beach, dig for clams or just sit on a log and relax next to a beach fire.
We also have three, two-man kayaks (in summer only) and a 4- man inflatable boat. Want to do some foraging? We have crab pots and clamming tools for your enjoyment. We have Geoducks!!! Or just kick back on the large deck or in the solarium and watch the deer and racoons wander through the yard any given day or watch the eagles soaring above fishing the waters on our beach below. Many birds stop by for a drink from our pond just outside of the solarium. There is a small patio on the south side of the house to savor the late afternoon sun and the view while lounging in our "outdoor living room" with a glass of wine. Cushions and pillows are stored just to the left side of the man door to the garage.
The fully equipped kitchen has a 5-burner professional gas cook top, double ovens and large side-by-side refrigerator, (We have a second full size refrigerator in the laundry room next to the pantry for your box store shopping trips.) There are beautiful granite slab countertops, and a view that makes cooking a real pleasure. Or you can pull up a bar stool to the eating counter and grab a quick snack. Fine dining is minutes away at several of our favorite restaurants if you aren't in the mood for cooking.
The living room has a stone wall with a gas fireplace and a 55" Samsung Smart TV. Snuggle up on the comfy sofas in front of the fireplace and enjoy great conversation, a good book or a glass of wine. Or, simply admire the beauty of the view.
The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a king sized bed and 12' sliding glass doors that open to the deck. Lie in bed and enjoy the electric fireplace in the evening and see the cruise ships heading back to port. Or if you're an early riser, watch the sun rise over the Cascade Mts. Master bath vanity has double sink with granite slab counter top, spa-like shower with double shower heads, and like almost everywhere in this home, incredible water and mountain views!
Bedroom 2 has queen sized bed and a garden view. (The only room in the house without ocean and mountain views.)
Bedroom 3 is very large with queen bed (and available space for our queen, double high air bed available for those groups looking for a couple more sleeping spots). Glass doors open to the deck. Relax with a cup of coffee at the bistro table with four chairs and view the marvelous water and mountain views or the turn on the electric fireplace for added enjoyment .
Bedroom 4 is in our second floor loft. It has a queen bed as well as a convertible double sofa bed.
We have a private office area in the loft with its own spectacular views equipped with a desk, ergonomic chair and office basics supplies (if you really need to do some work).
The house is beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated in a Nautical theme to make your stay feel extra special and comfortable.
The soft breezes from the water below make grilling and dining, on the deck table a real pleasure.
Several comfortable lounge chairs are also provided on the deck. Try to spot the seals and otters on the rocks below with the telescopes and binoculars provided or just marvel at the incredible view. There is another patio with lounge sectional outdoor furniture at the south end of the yard to enjoy the afternoon sun and Happy Hour.
