Expectational opportunity to own a waterfront retreat with 100ft of low tide beach frontage and nearly 180-degree panoramic views of the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountain and an abundant marine wildlife. Thoughtfully designed to maximize the breathtaking scenery, this home offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. At the heart of the home is a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring a professional 6-burner range, dual dishwashers, extensive cabinetry, generous prep space and an eat-in dining area—all overlooking the water. Expansive living spaces flow seamlessly to view decks and patios, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The waterfront primary suite features a private balcony and a newly remodeled spa-inspired en suite. 2 additional bedrooms with remodeled bathrooms provide flexibility for guests or a home office (3-bedroom home served by a 2-bedroom septic system). The daylight lower level includes a spacious flex room with patio access, while the 3rd floor bonus room offers its own private balcony with spectacular water views. Enjoy minimal stairs to the shoreline for kayaking, paddleboarding and beachcombing. An attached 2-car garage plus 3 additional lower-level garage bays provide exceptional space for vehicles, boats and recreational equipment. Combining panoramic views, peaceful privacy, versatile living spaces and outstanding waterfront amenities, this is a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Puget Sound waterfront living.
