This property sits near the end of a quiet road shared by two other homes in Westview Woods. It’s an oasis, an island hideaway only 4 minutes from Eastsound. The home sits on 1.64 acres surrounded by majestic Madrona and Douglas fir trees, with a grassy meadow, fenced ornamental gardens, artist studio, and a greenhouse. It enjoys a commanding view of Turtleback Mountain, the waters of Eastsound Bay, and lovely sunsets year-round. The well-built house is 1764 sq feet, two-story, 3 bedroom, 2 ¾ bath, with an open floor plan. The first floor includes a large kitchen, living room, dining room, and ¾ bath. Hand-crafted Madrona and cedar accents are featured prominently throughout the house. French doors open onto the wrap-around deck and covered porch. Through the laundry room/pantry lies a bonus room opening onto the back lawn, complete with pet door. A prominent downstairs feature is the dynamic marine view through the wall of southwesterly facing windows. The second floor includes Master bedroom with full bath, two bedrooms and second full bath. Each bedroom has cedar paneled ceilings and new laminate floors. The two bedrooms on the water side also offer beautiful marine and sunset views overlooking the meadow. In the third bedroom enjoy stargazing from bed through two skylights with a hand crafted light well trimmed in cedar. An added safety feature is the fire escape ladder located out this bedroom window. An efficient wood stove in the living room provides well-dispersed heat throughout the house. The electric baseboard heat is available for cold mornings but is rarely needed through island winters. The many outdoor spaces, easy access to hiking, proximity to town, beach, and school bus stop make this property ideal for families. The pet door and large fenced area keep dogs happy. The privacy allows for very relaxed living, unlocked doors, and curtainless windows. Stone wall terraced beds featuring mature plants including rose, rhododendron, lilac, mock orange, elderberry, grape, peony, tiger lily and butterfly bush create a rich and beautiful three season garden. A green house extends the growing season all the way to November. Other out buildings includes a woodshed, tool/garden shed, motorcycle shed, and a shade-pavilion. Read a book from one of two hammocks nicely placed to enjoy the lovely views. A fence around the garden keeps the deer out and all but the most determined dogs in. In the meadow sits a uniquely hand-crafted 300sq ft building with dramatic roof structure and fir window trim, currently used as an artist studio. Its hexagonal shape with wood stove, open floor and bed-sized loft allow for many possibilities. The home includes a 120 gallon propane tank which supplies the gas range, dryer, and water heater. A T-fitting is already in-line to accommodate a gas barbeque. Home is wired for optional back-up generator. With the wood stove, these features mean you’ll make it through any winter storm power outages with lights, heat, hot dinner and a hot shower.
