The story
- Waterfront
Wake up to ever-changing views of the Sound, Hat Island, and the Cascade Mountains - including Mount Pilchuck - from this peaceful high bank waterfront retreat on South Whidbey, where light, water, and sky shape the rhythm of each day. Just minutes from Langley and the Clinton ferry, this is a setting that feels removed, yet connected - an ideal balance for full-time living or a weekend retreat. Inside, the 2-bedroom 2-bath home is designed for comfortable, easy living. Natural light fills the open-concept main space, where a fireplace featuring historically accurate Arts & Crafts tile reproductions by nationally recognized artist Marie Glasse Tapp adds warmth and character. French doors open to the view deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor living and the landscape beyond. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the kitchen’s classic wood cabinetry offers both simplicity and function, with an easy flow for gathering or quiet mornings at home. A den and loft provide flexible space for work, creativity, or hosting guests. Originally built in 1960 and extensively remodeled in 2007, the home blends enduring character with thoughtful updates, including a metal roof, Rinnai tankless water heater, appliances, flooring, and windows. Set on a half-acre surrounded by evergreens, the property includes a fenced garden and a greenhouse crafted from reclaimed materials from the original home - rooted in both place and history.
