The story
- Waterfront
Rare low-bank waterfront estate on Lopez Island’s Fisherman Bay at the secluded end of a private lane, with 206 feet of waterfront, tidelands, and a deep water mooring buoy. This contemporary residence, designed by Tom Olsen, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, pairs custom organic architecture with sweeping bay views, a blue steel fireplace, and a southeast-facing wrap-around patio for effortless indoor/outdoor living and sun all day and all year round. The three upper-level en suite bedrooms include a primary suite with soaking tub, walk-in closet, and private view deck; a guest suite with view deck; and third one with a built-in Murphy bed and a concealed laundry area. Exceptional details throughout range from custom clear fir cabinetry to granite and stained concrete finishes. Retreat to the refined library/office with its custom-crafted built-in desk and shelving. The detached studio, with its own water view, patio, fireplace, and 3/4 bath, offers options for additional guests, an office, or a creative space. The property also features economical geothermal radiant floor heating; a fenced garden w/greenhouse, raised beds, and catchment-fed irrigation; a roomy two-car garage with a contractors’ workbench; and a private well with a pump house and abundant storage. A second waterfront parcel provides privacy and a potential building opportunity for a total of 1.91 acres. Paddle board, kayak, and access your boat from your private beach on the sheltered waters of the bay.
