Price Reduced $46,000!!!

Held by generations of the same family for nearly a century, this delightful, 4BD/2BA, Nantucket-style beach house is perched high on a bluff in the "sweet spot" between Lincoln Park and the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock, on Seattle's coveted Gold Coast.

The main floor Great Room is open and bright, with spectacular views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, Blake Island, the Fauntleroy/Vashon Island Ferries and maritime traffic, and myriad marine life framed by picture windows in nearly every room. French doors on the water side open to an expansive party deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining—and in back to a quiet, cool solarium wrapped in mature specimen trees, an ancient apple tree, thoughtfully curated plantings, and the refreshing, salty breezes of Puget Sound. The kitchen with breakfast bar is open to the Great Room for inclusive entertaining, and easily large enough for 2 busy cooks working side-by-side for special dinners at home. The top-floor Master Suite is a serene sanctuary with breathtaking views, a generous full bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and an office that you'll never want to leave. The gardens have enjoyed decades of thoughtful plantings and loving maintenance; and a hidden driveway leads to an adorable yoga studio, and more parking behind this charming home.

Updated wiring and plumbing, new water main, updated systems, and newer roof!!

In the event you ever grow tired of all the privacy and delicious views—simply walk 2 blocks in any direction and you'll find your neighbors having coffee and decadent pastries at The Original Bakery, and stocking-up on locally sourced yum-yums at the Wildwood Market. Or, head 2 blocks north to Lincoln Park with your swimsuit, paddleboard, and favorite kicks—and enjoy miles of walking/biking paths, a heated salt-water pool, playgrounds, tide-pools . . . or paddle out and have a friendly chat with the seals and Orcas who frequent the warm waters nearby. Even better, grab your bike and hop on the Vashon Ferry for an endless array of farmer's markets, organic farms with roadside stands, and some of the most friendly people you'll ever meet.

A home like this, in this location, is seldom available. Don't miss your chance to experience a slower, kinder, more gentle lifestyle—while living just 15 minutes from the heart of the beautiful Emerald City.
