Turn of the century 1912 beach town home without the beach front price tag. Imagine raising your family and/or running a business 4 blocks, a 5 minute walk, from one of Washington States’ most popular salt waterfront parks. Launch your boat, catch a train to the city, jump on the ferry to Whidbey Island, hop a bus anywhere, buzz up to Paine Field for a flight, walk 1 block to the community center for an event, all within 5 minutes, or simply relax on one of two sundecks and enjoy views of the Puget Sound and breath in the salt air. Year-round creek provides peaceful trickling sound from a protected green belt 24/7. Wildlife galore right in your own back yard, and enjoy entertaining around the firepit in the evenings.
The opportunities abound in this 3302 square foot 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home. The top level has a queen suite in the East wing with floor to ceiling windows, partial kitchenette and large bathroom complete with huge jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Two bedrooms and a 1/2 bath fill the middle of the home, then comes the large open floorplan of the West wing with covered front lanai, living, kitchen, full bath and dining room areas spilling onto a main level sundeck overlooking the back yard area. Finally, the lower daylight basement area is a complete mother-in-law suite with 2 entrances, ¾ bath and full kitchen opening up to a covered lanai abutting the lawn, firepit and garden area of the back yard. There is a 20’x36’ fenced garden with raised beds, alley access and parking in the rear, along with a 12’x16’ workshop/outbuilding and covered woodshed.
This home comes with 2 woodstoves, efficient wall heaters throughout and double pane windows. There are 11 exterior doors entering into this unique home, interior separation doors with deadbolts throughout to provide separate living/rental/business quarters if desired.
Now the kicker….this property is zoned commercial/mixed use, and is grandfathered as a residence if so desired, which means you can run/lease out space for business(s), or rent out space for living, and live on site if you choose. Home has large attic area with pull down steps for storage or possible additional bedrooms if dormers were installed.
Bring your design and decorating flair, choose your own paint and flooring and turn this into your own beach town dream. Home currently occupied and being shown to qualified buyers by appointment only.
