Offering this beautiful one of a kind contemporary home ideal for that special intimate getaway. This island jewel is nestled on five pristine pastoral acres on the south end of Lopez with panoramic views to the west of MacKaye Harbor and Salmon point. Built by renowned Seattle glass artist, James Nowak in 2008, designed by the creative architectural team of Adams, Mohler and Ghillino, and constructed by Steve Winder Construction. This 900 square foot home is clean, artistic ,unique, and deliciously inviting just like the island itself. The fourteen custom wall sconces with matching overhead ceiling fixture gives you the feel of a room filled with candles but the light is actually coming from small LED lights within the candle globes. The living room floor features a 9 x 12 terrazzo insert to the cement floors filled with Mr. Nowak's blown pieces. The fir plank that is the eating counter and the beautiful fir stairway to the sleeping loft is all hand locally milled Douglas Fir. The bathroom tiles are each handmade in Italy and all the furniture that is found throughout is simple in design, elegant, classic, and of course comfortable.

We spent a week on Lopez Island and in James Nowak's house and it was fantastic! We absolutely love the aesthetics of the house. The place is nearly new, stunningly beautiful, well furnished, and amazingly comfortable for a couple looking for a getaway. The orientation is over beautiful acreage of tall grasses with a view of MacKaye Harbor in the distance. The sunsets seemed to go on forever! Lopez is a wonderful island with a great little village, including the excellent Bay Cafe, Robert's Caffe La Boheme, and Vita's Wildly Delicious, excellent birding, trails for hiking and places to explore. We considered many listings of places in the San Juans and for the price, the quality, and experience, I doubt any other can touch Nowak house. We'd love to go back!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Perfect Getaway!

Nowak House was even more than I expected! The house and furnishings were stunning and the view down to the bay was picturesque. Despite the chilly spring weather, I wasmore than happy to curl up in the patio chair with a blanket and glass of vino to watch the sunset, joined by a trio of bald eagles flying overhead. The island is full of trails that lead to the bays, bluffs and wooded areas....don't miss out on Shark Reef and Iceberg Point. The pastoral tranquility of the island was soothing to the soul; I would highly recommend Nowak House to those who are looking for a slow paced and relaxing getaway in a magical corner of the country!
