Set on shy 3 acres with 280'± of waterfront, the 2972 sf residence offers an exceptional blend of privacy, luxury, and effortless coastal lifestyle—complete with a gentle path to a stunning beach ideal for kayaking, tidepooling, and memory-making with all ages. Recently updated interior from top to bottom with a designer's eye, the 5-bedroom, 4-bath home showcases a brand-new kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, stone countertops, bar seating, and thoughtfully integrated storage. New hardwood flooring flows throughout, complemented by fresh interior paint and curated lighting that elevates every space. All bathrooms have been fully remodeled with stone surfaces, tile floors, and beautifully finished showers, including a spa-inspired primary suite with dual vanities and a soaking tub designed for relaxation after a day on the water. Generous bedrooms with walk-in closes provide comfort and flexibility for hosting, while the oversized 2-car garage and new systems – including furnace and hot water heater – ensure modern convenience and peace of mind. From golden sunsets over the bay to the occasional passing orca, and frequent visits from fox, deer, and eagles, this is a front-row seat to the natural beauty of the San Juans – an extraordinary opportunity to live immersed in nature without compromising on luxury.
