About this home

Discover a rare opportunity to own pristine no-bank waterfront property on the breathtaking Puget Sound — where the water meets your land without a bluff, stairs, or barriers. This level, build-ready parcel offers effortless access to the shoreline, making it ideal for creating your custom dream home exactly the way you envision it. Perfectly positioned just a 20-minute drive from Downtown Seattle, this exceptional property delivers the best of both worlds: peaceful waterfront living with the convenience of city amenities, dining, and entertainment close at hand. Wake up to panoramic water views, soothing sounds of gentle waves, and an ever-changing canvas of natural beauty. Wildlife is abundant — from soaring eagles overhead to seals and passing boats gliding across the Sound — creating a serene and inspiring setting year-round. Level waterfront land (West-facing for amazing sunsets!) of this caliber is increasingly rare to find. With no bank separating you from the shoreline and utilities ready for development, this is a truly turnkey opportunity to build your legacy home in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most coveted settings. For the right buyer, this isn’t just land — it’s a dream realized. Was approved for building permit for a 4,000 sq ft, 2 story home in 2024.
