A Kingston waterfront icon, this extraordinary lighthouse residence known as The Shotwell Lighthouse is set on 0.65 acres of low-bank Puget Sound waterfront less than a mile from the ferry terminal. Featured in The Seattle Times Pacific NW Magazine, this celebrated home is instantly recognizable by its striking tower, white exterior & red roof, pairing unforgettable architecture with panoramic views spanning Mt. Baker to Mt. Rainier, the Seattle skyline & passing ferries. Nearly every room captures breathtaking water views, where walls of glass frame an ever-changing marine landscape while wood-plank ceilings, exposed beams & a dramatic stone fireplace bring warmth to the main living space. The kitchen opens to the dining & great room and conceals a hidden pantry behind a bookshelf. Upstairs, the primary suite is suspended above the water with floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, propane fireplace & ensuite bath. Connected by the waterfront deck, the 4-level lighthouse is truly one of a kind, featuring a guest suite styled after a yacht stateroom, a 180-degree view office, climate-controlled wine cellar & lantern room with breathtaking 360-degree views. Easy shoreline access invites kayaking, paddleboarding & beachcombing. Just a 3 min. drive or 15 min. stroll to downtown Kingston, the Edmonds ferry & fast ferry to Seattle, this remarkable property is equal parts waterfront retreat, architectural statement & local landmark.
