About this home

Wake up to breathtaking panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and unforgettable sunsets from this remarkably private Federal Way waterfront retreat. Set on approximately 1.5 acres with 125 feet of no-bank waterfront, this rare property offers the space, privacy, and direct beach access that are exceptionally difficult to find. The fully renovated custom home combines timeless Northwest character with modern comfort. Expansive windows frame the water views throughout the home, while the elegant sunken living room features gracious beamed ceilings and a dramatic fireplace. The refreshed kitchen offers Corian countertops and a cozy breakfast nook, while the spacious dining area is perfectly positioned for entertaining with the Sound as your backdrop. Multiple water-view decks and an expansive patio create seamless indoor-outdoor living—ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying spectacular Pacific Northwest sunsets. A separate 1200 square feet cottage provides flexible space for a home office, studio, guest retreat, or additional-purpose space. A peaceful wooded trail winds through the property to an enchanting sandy beach and waterfront cabana. At low tide, explore miles of shoreline directly from your own private waterfront setting. The property also benefits from a new septic system design and approval, with installation to be completed by the new owner. The separate cottage is 1200 square feet; buyers to verify.
