Rare Day Island waterfront property featuring a legacy 240-square-foot boathouse & existing 60-foot bulkhead with direct access to Puget Sound, just steps from the backyard. Unobstructed views create a true waterfront escape, complemented by beautifully designed hardscapes, terraced lawn, steel handrails, & a pergola positioned for glowing sunsets & outdoor entertaining. Originally built in the 1920s, the home blends timeless character with modern updates. Extensive renovations completed in 2013, 2018, & 2025-think down to the studs-create a seamless balance of vintage charm & contemporary comfort. The main residence features 4 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, a generous kitchen & dining room, plus a relaxing sunroom & covered porch, all positioned to maximize the views. A newly completed ADU offers a spacious full kitchen, comfortable living room, private bedroom, walk-in closet, ¾ bath, laundry, & the same breathtaking views of Puget Sound. The newly finished detached garage includes an EV charging station with future capacity for two additional chargers. Previously operated as a successful rental with separate entrances & power meters, the property can easily be reclaimed as a single-family waterfront estate by adding an interior stairway. Whether you're seeking multigenerational living, guest accommodations, rental income, or an exceptional waterfront lifestyle, this one-of-a-kind Day Island property is a rare waterfront opportunity & a must see.
