About this home
Enjoy Pacific Northwest waterfront living from this charming bungalow, perched high above the shoreline to capture breathtaking panoramic views. From the living room or covered deck, take in the Olympic Mountains, Nisqually Reach, Key Peninsula, Anderson Island, and McNeil Island. Watch for whales passing through the water below, and end the day with unforgettable sunsets over the water. A private staircase leads down to the beach, and a sturdy cement bulkhead lines the shore. The property includes ownership of the tidelands, with beach rights that may be leased for additional income. Set in a peaceful, secluded location, this is a special place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the water at your doorstep. Inside, exposed beams and a wood-burning fireplace add warmth and character to the cozy living room. Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated, the bungalow is well suited for full-time living, a weekend escape, or a beach retreat. Features include a private well, pressurized septic system, and low-maintenance grounds. Ample guest and RV parking, plus space a GeoDome, and additional property behind and above the home may offer a potential building site with its own sweeping waterfront views. Imagine building a dream home there while keeping the existing bungalow as a beach house or guest retreat. Exceptional views, sunsets, whale watching, private beach access, and potential tideland lease income make this a rare waterfront opportunity.
