1520 8th Street, Anacortes, WA 98221
What's special
Welcome to 1520 8th Street, where color, character, and a little whimsy make every room memorable! Hardwood floors and graceful archways lead through inviting living spaces, while the dining room’s coffered ceiling adds an elegant touch. The bright kitchen features a generous island with seating and opens to a comfortable gathering area, perfect for morning coffee or evenings with friends. Downstairs, an apartment with a private entrance, its own kitchen and bathroom, and a small garden offers flexible space for guests, hobbies, or movie nights. Outside, enjoy a view of Guemes Channel from the huge deck above the two-car garage, which also includes a small shop. Thoughtfully planned landscaping across three lots creates a sense of privacy in town, with mature trees, colorful plantings, a grassy lawn, and a tucked-away patio. The garden was featured on a 2022 tour sponsored by the Skagit Symphony. A greenhouse added in 2025 with a metal roof, an existing shed, and on-site parking for one vehicle or a small boat add even more possibilities to this one-of-a-kind Anacortes home.
