Step onto the deck and take in sweeping Puget Sound views, layered shorelines, and ever-changing skies.

Thoughtful updates bring this cottage up to speed. The pop of color on the front door, the well maintained yard and garden space and the lush grass make excellent curb appeal.
Hard to find, near quarter acre lot. Back yard is fully fenced.

This cottage blends Northwest coastal and Scandinavian-inspired modern elements with classic cottage warmth.

Garden space and yard space. Plus a hot tub tab ready to go.
The proximity to the shoreline allows for strong visual connection to the Sound, while still being set back enough to feel private.
