Located on rural Vashon Island--situated strategically in Puget Sound between the cities of Seattle & Tacoma, this beautiful waterfront cottage allows you to soak up the rhythms of the forest & the sea and yet be close to the urban attractions of the area. Observe the rich bird life on land and the salmon, seals, porpoises and occasional whales as they swim & play in the waters at your front door.
The cottage has a cirque of large Douglas fir & Madrona trees to the north & east and is open to the view of Puget Sound, Point Defiance and Gig Harbor to the south and southwest. All of the day rooms and one of the bedrooms afford views of the sound and of the small ferry, Rhododendron, which makes the run between Vashon and Pt Defiance each hour during the day. The cottage is hidden from the street above and affords wonderful privacy. At low tide you can cruise the beach and reward yourself with awesome views of Mt Rainier.
The 1100 sq ft cottage was completely renovated over the last several years and offers a two-level 600 sq ft deck, a beautiful bath and lovely bedrooms in addition to the charming kitchen, living & dining rooms. The waterfront is reached by descending the steps to the property’s bulkhead and stony beach.
During the day you can observe the hummingbirds, tanagers, herons, eagles & other seabirds, along with jumping salmon, seals, sea lions, porpoises and occasional whales. At night listen for the sounds of the animals drifting across the silence of Puget Sound from the Pt. Defiance Zoo. This is truly a splendid spot where you can relax on the shores of Puget Sound but be close to everything from Olympia to Seattle.
