Whidbey Island Mid-Century Modern Waterfront Escape - JAW DROPPING VIEWS!!
A lovingly restored classic Mid-century Modern Waterfront home. The nearly 270 degree westside view spans Mt. Rainier, downtown Seattle, the Olympics, Port Townsend, and the San Juan islands. Sitting on nearly an acre with privacy so difficult to find, this home features a circular driveway, full length deck, master suite with its own private deck, a chef's kitchen with high end appliances, and close proximity to all that Whidbey Island has to offer.
Our place feels like it's a world away, yet it's only a short 90 minute jaunt from Seattle. Located in the Olympic rain shadow, our winter days are warmer / dryer and summer days are cooler than Seattle.
The house has been a labor of love for our family as we have been carefully restoring / preserving it to its original 1960s mid-century modern vintage complete with modern finishes / creature comforts - all with a focus on reuse and sustainability.
Take in the views from the full size deck that extends the length of the house and is equipped with HAY Palissade deck chairs, a Solo Stove fire pit, a Sonos Move, alfresco dining setup, and a Pawleys Island cotton rope hammock - all capped by a spectacular PNW native Madrona tree.
The great room is replete with carefully curated mid century modern touches, a fully stocked chef's kitchen with high end appliances, a Nespresso machine, board games, a deep sectional couch, an Apple TV, a Sonos audio setup, amazon Alexas, and smart lighting controlled via the provided iPad.
The spa-like master bedroom ensuite has a medium firm foam mattress king size bed, Pendleton throws, a wall of closets, soft linen sheets, and opens to its own private deck. The Master Bedroom now has a brand new, METICULOUSLY REMODELED bathroom with a vanity, and DUAL SHOWERS. Be one of the first to experience it!
Be one of the first to experience the RECENTLY REMODELED second bathroom. Deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The green spaces on three sides of the property are perfect for bocce ball, frisbee, kicking a soccer ball around, badminton, or for using the outdoor ping pong table. Need a bigger playground - walk down the street to take steps to the beach.
Tesla (or other EV) owner? Our place has a Level 2 EV Charger for you to plug in.

About the host
Hosted by Naureen
We have lived in Seattle for the past 25 years. Naureen has a background in real estate and Shehryar works with tech startups. We left no stone unturned in our search for a second home and landed on the west side of Whidbey Island as the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle of city life with our 12 and 14 year old sons and a Labradoodle. Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, pensions, and B&B’s and have drawn inspiration from all of them for this property.
Why they chose this property
Our place is located in the Windmill Heights neighborhood on the west side of Whidbey Island, on the north end of Mutiny Bay, which (along with Useless Bay) is widely considered to be one of the best beaches on the Island. The neighborhood comprises of 30 homes of which 14, like ours, are on the water. Centrally located on South Whidbey, the town of Freeland is an 8 minute drive, Langley 20 minutes, Greenbank 15 minutes, Coupeville 25 minutes, the Clinton Ferry Terminal 20 minutes, and Coupeville Ferry Terminal 25 minutes.
What makes this property unique
We love the views, access to the beach, the artsy community of South Whidbey Island, great restaurants, and the dryer weather (as compared to Seattle).
