The story
Island living begins with the view. Perched above Holmes Harbor on a spacious double lot, this beautifully renovated home looks across the water toward Baby Island and the Cascades, with spectacular sunrises providing a memorable start to the day. Inside, the home blends contemporary comfort with the warmth and character of its original clear cedar construction. The extensive renovation includes a new kitchen with Wolf induction cooktop and new appliances, new flooring, beautifully updated bathrooms—including the addition of a third bath and a soak tub—new interior and exterior paint, LED lighting, and new garage doors. A newer roof, heat pump, and commercial-grade view deck (ready for your hot tub) make the home move-in-ready. Walls of windows bring the outdoors in, the expansive deck creates a natural gathering place for morning coffee or simply watching the changing light over Holmes Harbor. The large double lot provides a sense of space, privacy, and connection to the landscape. Tucked into a secluded neighborhood with access to a beautiful wooded trail leading to a private community beach on Holmes Harbor—perfect for beachcombing, launching a kayak, or an evening walk by the water. This is a home designed for why people come to Whidbey to live: quiet mornings, water views, nature outside the door, and room to breathe, offering the rare combination of privacy, thoughtful renovation, and the relaxed lifestyle that makes Whidbey Island so special.
