Waterfront living at its finest awaits at this secluded, family-friendly home! At high tide, the house sits entirely over water. This home is the perfect retreat to truly escape from it all and focus on only relaxing–you will not have access to WiFi or cable, which means you won't have to worry about work calls or emails during your stay. (Although, if you need it, Smart Phones with WiFi hotspots often effectively stream here, and there are DVDs on hand.) The views from this darling home are out of this world. You'll get the chance to admire views of local wildlife (herons, eagles, seals, cormorants, and whales), everything from small boats to large barges. The sunsets over the Olympic mountains are spectacular. The wraparound deck lets you see the sunrise on the east side with your breakfast or morning coffee and sunset on the west with dinner. The large wraparound deck is the perfect place for endless outdoor fun with two outdoor dining areas, a gas grill, unparalleled water views, and plenty of seating throughout. Host memorable barbecues, snuggle up on the swing and read a good book, or work on your tan from one of the many available beach chairs. A few short steps to the beach will lead you to prime beachcombing or a kayak adventure along the coast or over to Eagle Island.
The main living space is on the first floor, where the open floor plan seamlessly combines the kitchen, living room, and dining area. The living room is another excellent place to unwind with your loved ones - featuring a central pellet stove, comfortable furniture, and a flatscreen TV. You're definitely in for a good and cozy time. There's even a telescope pointing towards the water in case you'd like to admire it from a whole different point of view. The brand-new open kitchen is well equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, including a full-size fridge, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and even a Keurig coffee maker. This level also boasts the primary bedroom with direct access to the deck, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a small laundry nook with a washer/dryer.
