Property Description
An extraordinary property. Perched on 1.44 acres above Port Townsend Bay with 181 feet of waterfront, this stunning home has an exceptional amount of ambient light throughout the house. The views are expansive over the bay and Admiralty Inlet, as well as mountain views of the Cascades, Rainier and Baker. The westerly sky and Olympic mountains are seen from the third floor turret, which boasts a nearly 360' outlook. The historic buildings of Port Townsend, sailboats and shipping lanes are seen from every room. Extremely private setting, with no neighbors within sightline. Contemporary, custom design with a open floor plan, 30 foot ceilings for expansive feel and yet there are intimate spaces; the dinette alcove is cozy and feels like one is sitting in a colorful garden, surrounded by Japanese maples, rhodies, leland cypress, and azaleas. The office/den has a stunning view of Admiralty inlet, but it is also intimate and has the warmth of a private retreat where one can nestle in with a good book. Incredible quality of construction with radiant floor heat, custom cabinets and built-in entertainment center and bookshelves. Artistic etched glass doors. Double-sided fireplace between living room and dining area. Primary en-suite bedroom w/ privacy, large walk-in closet and sitting area w/ propane stove. Additional bedroom and 3/4 bath on main floor. Huge 2-car garage w/storage/shop space. Green house room for garden/hobbies. RV parking. Remodeled in 2016. Meticulously maintained.
