The story
- Basement
The Cliff Drive House is remarkable not only because of its unique sunset/sound view location, but also in its provenance and design. Adjacent to greenbelt & trails of Pigeon Creek. The acclaimed PNW architect, Ralph Anderson, designed this home in 1960. Today, with modern updates and many extras the home has been re-imagined. Enter through the sculpturally enhanced front door to a great room with a great view! Further to the west is a covered 872 sq.ft. deck. The greatest difficulty one might have is where to sit to watch the watercraft and cargo ships sail by. Tulalip & Whidbey Is. are featured in this sea-scape. Since 2006 the home has been the residence for the innovative NW Coast artist, Barry Herem, who has left his legacy of art & design on the home & property itself. Yes, the various modern sculptures stay with the home. The great room with its vaulted ceilings & exposed beams, hardwood floor, new kitchen and central quartzite counter, copper fixtures & wall of windows to the west is sculptural as well. There are 3 bedrooms & 2 baths on the lower level. New Whirlpool appliances are featured in the kitchen & laundry area downstairs. Heating & cooling is via new heat pump and forced air furnace. The easy care landscaped yard has plenty of space for you to add your own touches. Double car garage has skylights and work space, covered walkway to the front entry. Property is a 5 min. walk to the wonderful Howarth Park with waterfront access & 28 acres of hiking trails.
