Approved plans provide approximately 2,836 square feet of living space plus a 452-square-foot garage on an 11,124-square-foot waterfront lot. Approximately 42 feet of Puget Sound waterfront frontage with existing bulkhead protection, offering direct shoreline presence, sweeping water views, and spectacular sunsets over the Olympic Mountains.

Buyers have the unique opportunity to customize finishes and complete a spectacular 4-5 bedroom, 3.5 bath waterfront home with sweeping Sound and Olympic Mountain views. Extensive planning, design, engineering, and permitting work has already been completed. Due diligence materials available upon request. Buyer to verify all information to their own satisfaction. Approved architectural plans available. Financing available via Mid-Construction Loan with Legacy Group Capital or other lenders via rehab loans.
