Perched among the trees like a private treehouse, this Useless Bay retreat sits just off the 6th tee and delivers true birdhouse living, with lots of bird activity right outside your windows. A striking cantilevered carport and covered parking set the tone on arrival. Upstairs, two bedrooms include a beautiful primary suite with a spa-like bath and large walk-in shower. The extended, sun-drenched deck is made for morning coffee and evening unwinding, and it's perfect for garden boxes to grow vegetables and plants. It's surrounded by mature landscaping and a dry riverbed creek feature, with trails winding up toward the 6th tee. The lower level adds real flexibility: a second living room, guest room, bonus room, full bath and office space, with a separate entry for guests, a work-from-home setup or multigenerational living. Newer propane fireplaces on each level bring cozy warmth, and a ductless system provides efficient heating and air conditioning year-round. Minutes to beaches, trails, wineries, shops, restaurants and the ferry. Come experience the Useless Bay lifestyle on South Whidbey.
