Lovingly held by the same family for more than 50 years, this is a truly rare opportunity to own one of West Seattle’s few private sandy beachfront homes. Completely remodeled in 2015, this exceptional 4-bdrm, 3-bath home offers 40 feet of private sandy beach & sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympics. Watch ferries glide by, sailboats catch the breeze, marine wildlife play, & some of the most spectacular sunsets Seattle has to offer. Expansive windows bring the beauty of the Sound indoors, while an open floor plan creates effortless flow between the chef’s kitchen, dining, & living spaces. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes. But the magic of this home is truly found outside. Step directly onto the sand for paddleboarding or kayaking, let the dogs splash at the water’s edge, watch the kids build sandcastles. Keep your boat on the private buoy, gather friends to enjoy all the beach has to offer, and end the day around the waterfront firepit as the sun sinks behind the Olympics. This isn’t a vacation destination; it’s home. This waterfront lifestyle comes with exceptional city convenience. Downtown & the Airport are minutes away, along with restaurants, shopping, parks, and the ferry. This home has been the setting for gatherings, celebrations, Summer days on the beach, & many memories. Now, this extraordinary piece of Seattle waterfront is ready for its next chapter. YOUR beach is waiting!!
