8032 61st Avenue Northeast

Set above the Nisqually Reach with the Olympics on the horizon, this home was built around what surrounds it. Views of the water, Anderson Island, and the Longbranch Peninsula reach into nearly every room, and the quality of the finishes holds up to them. Vaulted ceilings and skylights open the plan up, hardwood and tile run generously throughout, and the granite kitchen anchors it all with white cabinetry, a center island, induction cooktop, and walk-in pantry. A large family room with propane fireplace gives you a second place to gather, while the primary suite opens to a private view balcony and a five piece bath. Outside, mature terraced landscaping steps down toward the water, and along the way you'll find deck, patio, and gathering space enough for morning coffee, an afternoon in the shade, or a crowd at sunset. At the shoreline, 110 feet of low-bank frontage, a concrete bulkhead, sandy pebbly beach, boardwalk, and a 200 sq ft boat shelter make the waterfront something you actually use, not just something you look at. Behind the scenes, a 462 sq ft shop, a separate 616 sq ft two car garage, heat pump, automatic generator, and new solar panels cover the practical side. The full unfinished basement adds tall ceilings and roughly 900 square feet ready to finish, leaving room to grow on your own terms. All of it quiet, private, and just 15 minutes from everyday shopping. Waterfront like this rarely comes available, and once you see that view, you'll understand why.
