Imagine your island escape—where Mount Rainier and Puget Sound greet you each morning, and sunsets paint the sky over Useless Bay. Just a scenic ferry ride from the mainland, the journey becomes part of the experience—an opportunity to slow down and unwind. Designed for both gathering and retreat, this home offers generous living spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The entry-level features a bunk and a recreation room with a pool table, bar, and a deck overlooking Deer Lagoon Preserve—a National Audubon Important Bird Area with over 200 species of birds, including eagles and herons. The main level offers a spacious kitchen open to dining and living areas, anchored by a striking rock fireplace and expansive view decks. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with a sound-view deck and a cozy fireside sitting area. Ideally located near Double Bluff Beach, known for its sandy shoreline, kite surfing, and the off-leash dog park. Minutes to Langley and Freeland for restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences. Whether full-time or a weekend retreat, this is a place to reset and experience island living.
