12422 southwest bachelor road

Best built fishing shack on Vashon! Step down to the beach and fish to your heart's content or just while away the hours watching the ever-changing water. Built in the 90's as an engineer's island retreat this one bed, one bath home over a two-car garage has been home to fun summer retreats for decades. Seller's dad used the garage for projects and hang-out space around the cozy wood stove. Upper level living quarters are in pristine condition and perfect for hosting island getaways and/or short-term renters. Huge sliding door gives access to Juliet balcony with views of boats plying the sound, seals and otters playing in the water, and the city of Tacoma in the distance. The grassy waterfront parcel with weeping willow is an inviting spot for picnics, camp-outs, casting a line and easy beach combing access. Upper portion of property gives access to Neill Point trail system for the benefit of the neighbors; lovely trails for forest bathing! Stash your kayaks, stand-up paddle boards or canoe and have grand adventures exploring Vashon from the water! Vashon village, with artisanal shops, music, art and festivals is just up the road, and Tacoma is a stone's throw away.
