The story
- Waterfront
Wake up at the water’s edge, where morning sunlight sparkles across Holmes Harbor and the changing tides unfold just beyond the lawn. Life isn’t measured by the things we own, but by the moments we share—exploring tide pools, searching for sea glass, kayaking quiet waters, fishing, swimming, and discovering the wonders of Holmes Harbor. Set approximately 30 feet back from the shoreline, this extensively remodeled Whidbey Island home offers harbor views from virtually every room. Set on approximately one acre, it includes 100± feet of low-bank saltwater frontage and 10,000± square feet of private tidelands. Enjoy morning coffee to birdsong while watching harbor life. Sheltered waters invite kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, and shoreline exploration. Inside, hand-hewn beams and a custom stainless-steel spiral staircase add character. The main-level primary suite features a freestanding soaking tub and curbless shower. Upstairs are a second ensuite, an additional bedroom, and generous gathering space. Make this your full-time waterfront home or a retreat with established short-term rental history and the option to welcome guests between your own stays. RV parking, a shed, a spacious enclosed catio and garden, and no HOA add everyday convenience. There is potential for a separate upper-level unit, garage conversion, or detached accessory dwelling, subject to county approval and buyer verification of feasibility, permitting, utilities, and septic requirements.
