Complete home remodel just finished! Lots of upgrades to this 3 bedroom 1.75 bath home, including new flooring, kitchen counter tops, deck, paint and furnishings.
House can accommodate a maximum of 10 people with no more than 8 adults. Up to 4 adults will be comfortable in beds and a bed height blow up mattress and memory foam topper are provided for an additional 2 adults if needed, bottom bunks or sofas will provide space for a final 2 single adults. When children are present four children can sleep in the bunk room and an extra one or two can sleep on the sofa or blow up mattress.
House has a perfect floor plan for adults on the main floor and children downstairs with 2 separate living areas and a bathroom on each level. Interior walls are insulated for wonderful noise reduction and privacy.
This home is located in Admiral's Cove and is part of a private community just minutes from the Keystone Ferry and approximately 30 minutes from the Clinton Ferry. We are a few minutes drive to Coupeville where you can get groceries or rent a movie and about 20 minutes to Oak Harbor. Only a handful of homes are along Keystone Avenue, which makes it very quiet and safe.
A semi-private lake directly off the back yard and views of Puget Sound and the mountains to the west make this a true beach house!
