Sunset paints the Olympics in shades of rose and gold as you sip your favorite beverage with a view that never gets old. This is the waterfront dream you've been searching for, where forty feet of low-bank beachfront becomes your backyard playground. Paddle to Blake Island on summer mornings, build fires on your private breakwall as the sun melts into Puget Sound, and watch whales breach while eagles soar. Collect sand dollars at low tide while seals pop up to say hello and herons fish along the shore. Step inside to discover a home as thoughtfully designed as its setting is spectacular. The main floor flows seamlessly from living to dining to deck, anchored by a beautifully updated kitchen with pantry/coffee bar perfect for entertaining. Evenings unfold on the deck, undeniably your favorite room, where conversations stretch late under the stars. Host summer gatherings, and watch weekly sailboat races and cargo ships glide past. Upstairs, two bedrooms include one with sweeping water views and another with a charming loft ideal for office or play. The timeless updated full bath completes this level. The lower level offers a thoughtfully updated laundry room, refreshed three-quarter bath, and primary bedroom that opens directly to your backyard oasis and beach access. Palm trees sway in the Pacific Northwest breeze while Alki's vibrant restaurants beckon within an easy stroll. This isn't just waterfront, this is waking up inside the postcard. Your beach house is calling.
