Rainier, and the Seattle skyline set the stage for this exceptional Manchester waterfront retreat—once home to noted local author Walt Morey. With 121 feet of no-bank shoreline, enjoy true walk-out waterfront living where the beach is your backyard. Watch wildlife, ferries glide by, and sunrises paint the sky from your expansive deck. Inside, the sun-drenched living room features a gas fireplace and walls of windows framing ever-changing water views like living art. The seamless indoor-outdoor connection makes everyday living and entertaining unforgettable. Also on the main floor: a large bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom. Upstairs, the serene primary suite and two additional bedrooms capture breathtaking Sound views, creating peaceful spaces to unwind. The fully finished lower level offers a bonus room, ¾ bath, and additional washer/dryer hookup—ideal for guests, recreation, work-from-home, or multi-generational potential. Rarely does a waterfront home combine history, shoreline, and views so effortlessly. Come experience the sights, sounds, and serenity in person—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
