Gentle waves lapping the shoreline, an afternoon of aquatic activities, birds soaring overhead- does life get any better than living at the water's edge? Nestled upon 100 feet of no-bank waterfront, this classic 1940s home embodies the ease of living often achieved on Cape Cod, punctuated by panoramic Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier views. Beginning at the shore, you'll encounter your own sandy beachfront and tidelands for beachcombing adventures, leading to an estuary fed by Illahee Creek- a bird watcher's paradise beyond compare. Meandering pathways bring one up through the grounds, which evoke the sense of care and meticulous attention to detail afforded to the entire residence. The character and charm of yesteryear- original VG fir floors, coved ceilings and archways- meet the modern amenities of today. A spacious living room is anchored by a wall of windows framing spectacular views and a cozy fireplace. Charming arched passageways offer seamless connection from living to dining, with French doors opening to a big deck ready for your morning cup of coffee or a summer BBQ. Whether entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the kitchen is well suited to any task, with stainless steel appliances, stylish display cabinets, and a breakfast nook. Main floor living is a reality here, with a bedroom and den for watching movies and ballgames with guests. The upper-level primary is a crown jewel. Nature takes center stage with view windows, while two large, walk-in closets lend the ultimate convenience. There is a third bedroom on the second level, which could be envisioned as an artist's studio, hobby room, office, or beyond. The lower level offers a partially finished basement with a rollup door, a third covered parking space (to complement the detached two-car garage), outstanding storage, a workout/yoga area, and a workshop with all the bells and whistles. The home also features two driveways (one with an automatic gate) and a rollup door on the beachfront side of the detached garage to easily launch a kayak or dinghy to head out crabbing, fishing or exploring. Beautiful, easy to maintain grounds are the cherry on top of this fantastic abode, just four miles to Manette and the Bremerton to Seattle ferry, and less than a mile to Illahee State Park. A rare find in a very desirable locale where opportunities to purchase are few and far between.
