About this home
Perched above 60 feet of east-facing waterfront, including tidelands, this inviting island cabin offers the kind of peaceful escape that feels worlds away from the city — yet close enough for an easy weekend retreat. From its medium-bank setting, enjoy sweeping water views and breathtaking sunrises that greet you each morning in soft coastal light. Inside, the open living, dining, and kitchen area creates a relaxed gathering space — ideal for slow mornings, shared meals, and reconnecting without distractions. A ¾ bath and laundry are conveniently located on the main floor. Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms provide restful retreats, with the larger bedroom opening onto a covered deck — a quiet perch for morning coffee and the gentle rhythm of island life. The expansive wooden deck invites long, unhurried afternoons and easy evenings outdoors. The level 0.41-acre lot offers space to garden, play, or simply breathe a little deeper and enjoy the privacy. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway from the city or a simpler full-time lifestyle, this cabin delivers water views, coastal charm, and that unmistakable sense of calm that only island living provides. A covered trailer is included at no cost to the buyer for overflow guests (or can be removed if preferred) and the 20’ x 18’ powered metal shop adds flexibility for storage, hobbies, or all your island gear.Wake with the sun, slow your pace, stay awhile! Community features: boat ramp, seasonal boat docks plus so much more!
