Enchanting, private & rich with history, this storybook waterfront home is nestled beneath majestic fir trees along 103 feet of Puget Sound shoreline, bathed in the evening light of coveted western exposure. Lovingly preserved for over a century, its timeless character is reflected in dramatic rooflines, an imported wrought iron gate, hardwood, parquet and fir floors, exposed beams, wainscoting, French doors and an original clawfoot tub. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's enduring charm. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the spacious gathering areas open to patios, lush lawns and beautifully established gardens featuring towering rhododendrons, heritage roses and sculpted boxwoods. Enjoy waterside deck, beach access, kayak storage and mooring buoy. A charming detached 528 sq. ft. guest cottage offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, a studio or income-producing rental with a proven Airbnb history. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just minutes from the Seattle ferry, this rare waterfront retreat offers a lifestyle seldom available and impossible to duplicate.
