About this home

Sunset, Shoreline, and Salish Sea Presence! Southwest-facing Rosario Palisades waterfront with 542 feet of shoreline, panoramic sunset views, and a front-row connection to the Salish Sea. Set among towering madronas, evergreens, and maples, and rooted on terraced grounds, this Northwest contemporary Jack Jackson Architect designed home offers over 3,700 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, each ensuite, including a gracious main-level primary suite. The great room is the heart of the home, with vaulted wood ceilings, floor-to-ceiling corner windows to take in the expansive 180 degree views across East Sound. A generous view deck extends the living space outdoors, while the lower level offers a spacious rec room with pool table included, additional guest space, and access to lower decks and the shoreline path. A gradual stairway leads toward the low-bank waterfront, where low tide opens the shoreline for exploration across the property’s full length of the property. the shoreline provides ample room for launching a kayak or a dinghy to reach the maintained mooring buoy. The engineered bulkhead provides sound protection. The detached shop offers flexible use for whatever your heart desires, such as an art studio, yoga space, woodshop, or storage, complimented by two covered carports nearby. Thoughtful driveway improvements create a more comfortable arrival to this private waterfront setting. A special waterfront property that deserves a second look.
