LISTING SPACE
The home is designed for groups who are looking to spend quality time together while immersed in nature. Three bedrooms sleep 8, spread across two levels with a dedicated bunk room for the kids. Two living areas mean adults can unwind while the little ones watch a movie downstairs. And the outdoors are never more than a few steps away.
LAYOUT
Upper Level — Main Living, Kitchen & Dining:
After parking at street level, walk down a series of staircases to your own private oasis. Enter the front door to floor-to-ceiling windows facing Puget Sound on three sides, with a skylight above the dining area that pours natural light in throughout the day. The open layout flows seamlessly from kitchen through dining to the Sound-facing living room — every seat in the house has a view of the water.
The living room wraps around a hand-carved burl wood coffee table, large sectional and two velvet lounge chairs. Enjoy the electric fireplace, set into a panel of Moroccan-style decorative tile, and search for whales with the telescope by the window.
The dining table seats 8 under a sculptural rattan pendant light, with seating overlooking the water view. The kitchen opens directly to this space, perfect for cooking and conversation.
The kitchen is designed to actually be cooked in. Powder-blue SMEG refrigerator, stainless gas range with professional hood, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, De`Longhi espresso machine, and open wood shelving stocked with everything you need.
A curated reading nook sits beside the staircase — floor-to-ceiling shelving with art books, a vintage radio, plants, and a lounge chair that catches the afternoon light perfectly.
Primary Bedroom & Ensuite Bathroom — King: A premium king bed with starburst-patterned wallpaper accent wall, direct Sound views and french doors open to the covered upper deck. Attached you will find the Deep emerald green subway tile from floor to ceiling wrapping the vanity wall and the full walk-in shower / water closet. Rainfall showerhead with built-in niche stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
Bedroom 2 — Queen: A beautiful room with a cane headboard, layered warm bedding, and garden-facing windows. Rattan armoire and bobbin mirror add warmth with convenient access to the full bathroom.
Bathroom 2: Next to the bedroom you will find the full bathroom with tub/shower combo and premium amenities.
Lower Level —
Media Room: Walk downstairs to find an additional living space: plush caramel sectional, two lounge chairs, Smart TV, round wood coffee table, and floating shelves with books and plants. Sliding glass doors open to the yard and sound views.
Bedroom 3 — Bunk Room: Two sets of twin size bunk beds sleeping 4. Cane-front dresser, green woven lamp, colorful framed art, dual windows with garden views. Perfect for kids or larger groups.
Bathroom 3 / Laundry: Powder bathroom (no shower) and laundry room combo. Samsung front-load washer and dryer, single vanity, patterned cement tile floor.
The Outdoor Sequence — Upper Patio to Bulkhead:
Step through the French doors onto the upper beam deck: two lounges, partial sun, and a panoramic sweep of the Sound. Wrap around to the lower deck with adirondack chairs and a lounge sofa. From there, the terraced yard opens up: rhododendrons, Pacific Northwest native plantings, a covered BBQ patio with gas grill.
Above the deck you’ll find another upper patio with red Adirondack chairs circling a Solo Stove with firewood stacked nearby — a path leads down to the bulkhead deck running along the water`s edge. Adirondack chairs, chaise lounges, and medium bank beach access. This is where guests spend every sunny afternoon and most evenings they don`t spend by the fire.
LISTING ACCESS
The entire property is yours — both levels of the home, all three outdoor spaces, the terraced yard, the fire pit, the BBQ, and the private boardwalk bulkhead deck right on Puget Sound. No shared spaces, no other guests. Just your group and the water.
Check-in is seamless via smart clock (code provided before arrival). Parking is available on-site.
⚠️ Accessibility note: The driveway is on the street and requires 4 flights of stairs to reach the front door. The home is multi-level with an interior staircase, and reaching the boardwalk bulkhead deck requires navigating the terraced yard and stairs. This property is not suitable for guests who cannot manage stairs or uneven terrain.
LISTING INTERACTION
We respect your privacy completely — this is your house on the island. Our team is always reachable by message, text, or phone if you need anything at all: local restaurant recommendations, property questions, or anything in between. Otherwise, the home is entirely yours.
