House in Lopez Island, Washington
OVERVIEW
Historic bayfront home with amazing view, fireplaces, & large yard - 2 dogs OK
Stunningly situated on the shores of Fisherman Bay, this waterfront home on Lopez Island is a place to take in gorgeous views of nightly sunsets over San Juan Island, the Haro Strait, and the islands of British Columbia beyond.
This bayfront home is a piece of Lopez Island history, named for the man who built it in 1974. Captain Leonard Davis was one of the foremost maritime navigation pilots in Puget Sound and a member of a family of early settlers on the island. He chose this spot as the site of his retirement for the lovely weather, winds, tides, and view of the ferries coming and going from Friday Harbor.
Inside, you'll find this view showcased in nearly every room, allowing you to watch the tides ebb and flow and observe bald eagles and otters passing through. The central living space is upstairs, including a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a TV, an adjacent dining room for eight that's warmed by the backside of the fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen with every essential. There's a second large living room downstairs - a wonderful spot to curl up by the fire and settle in for a night of board games.
The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, including a small balcony overlooking the bay, a patio that runs the length of the house, and a spacious backyard with a nature path to explore. Take a scenic stroll down to the spit at sunset and cap the evening with marshmallows and stories around the firepit.
