About this home

Experience the quintessential Boston Harbor lifestyle in this stunning tri-level hillside retreat. You enter on the second floor where tall ceilings & an open floor plan immediately frame breathtaking views of the harbor & the Olympic Mountains. The living room fireplace is uniquely positioned so you can watch the mountains glow directly behind the hearth, a rare architectural detail that turns the landscape into a living piece of art. An expansive deck provides a seamless transition off this main level for entertaining, while a dedicated den offers a quiet workspace. The top floor is dedicated to luxury, featuring a completely remodeled primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a private fireplace, and the most iconic views in the house. Both bedrooms on this upper level include their own private bathrooms. This layout provides a level of privacy that is a significant asset, as it creates a true suite experience for every resident. On the lower level, you will find a separate entrance leading to a third bedroom, a 3/4 bath, and a covered patio. This configuration is perfect for a guest suite or a studio that feels entirely independent from the rest of the home. The grounds total 0.37 acres with the included second parcel (35903603501), ensuring your privacy is protected and providing space for a fire pit, garden beds, and fruit trees. This home offers a rare blend of modern updates & the premier scenery that makes Boston Harbor so desirable. Seller to pay for new roof at closing!
