Description

Overlooking 203 feet of Puget Sound waterfront you'll find this stately home, circa 1922, with a rich history dating back to the time of the mosquito fleets ferrying passengers from Seattle to Des Moines. You will find grandeur echoing throughout each room including a grand foyer, a wood staircase that wraps around corners, spectacular living and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, four fireplaces, a butler's pantry, hardwood floors with decorative inlays, a SW facing sun room, a sleeping porch off the master bedroom, and cool storage in the basement perfect for a wine cellar, French doors with original lead glass panes lead into many rooms, incredible wood work throughout. This elegant home can never be replicated and should not be missed!
