About This Home
Northwest coastal cottage with broad sweeping views. Scandinavian-inspired modern elements with classic cottage warmth make it hard to leave. A stunning picture window frames sweeping Puget Sound views, while the deck offers an elevated vantage point to enjoy expansive water vistas, soaring eagles, layered shorelines, and ever-changing Northwest skies. Extensive six figure interior and exterior improvements bring this home up to speed for today's living, highlighting charm and preserving character; Most noticeably, vaulted tongue-and-groove vaulted warm wood ceilings. This beautifully designed kitchen showcases a perfect blend of style, efficiency, and smart use of space. Crisp white cabinetry lines the walls, creating a bright atmosphere while offering abundant storage to keep everything neatly organized. Sleek stainless steel appliances add a modern, upscale touch. Thoughtfully placed recessed lighting. Claim your zen with two good sized bedrooms, emphasizing comfort and relaxed living rather than formal scale. Bright and airy full bathroom and vanity on main floor. Upper loft for workspace or reading nook or exercise. Outside, Trex decking + viewrail glass railing allows for maximum views and minimum maintenance. Blooming landscaping, lush grass and garden beds accent the gated backyard. Thoughtful changes to the original floor plan maximize value and use of space. Storage galore in basement and garage. Dash Point state park minutes away.
