Bainbridge Beachside Living Blue water views and a world of skies Looking to live close to nature in a family-friendly neighborhood? This comfortable and modern home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Puget Sound beach environment with ever present soothing sounds of surf, long walks and beach combing at low tide, views of passing shipping traffic, sail boats races and pleasure craft, and the glorious morning sunrises. This gorgeous home also offers a sheltered dock with access to calm protected waters that are ideal for young sailors, kayaking and just messing about in the water. Perfect for year-round moorage of a power boat, this dock never goes dry, even at the lowest tides.

If you have a home business, a multi-generational family, or just need space for lots of projects this property is even better for you! The guest area over the garage was designed to house a caretaker for the original owner of the home, so it is quite comfortable and has many possibilities. The third bay of the garage has two sets of doors and is oversized to accommodate a boat or RV storage.

And we haven’t even begun to describe the home! Everything about this house is fresh and peaceful with the intent to be comfortable, modern and perfectly laid out for a couple or a whole houseful of people. The main floor master bedroom suite with its unbelievable expansive view was reconfigured and has a luxurious new bath with high-end amenities. The deliciously designed kitchen sooths with a beach inspired color palate. Also on the main floor is a guest suite and fully equipped laundry, so the home is perfect for one level living. The upstairs 3rd/children’s bedroom has a breathtaking view and endless possibilities. Built in the 50’s and only owned by three families, it still retains its beach cabin charm but offers thoughtful updates done by the present owners.

Purchase of this property is truly a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity.

Main Floor Entry Double doors greet family and guest, open to the view of Puget Sound and welcome all into this comfortable and stylish home. The tiled foyer has wonderful walls for hanging art and a large coat closet.

Living Room The commanding view of water through the large bay window is the principal feature of this room. Floors are random width red oak floors (to be refinished prior to closing) and there is easy access to the covered patio.

Kitchen The Kitchen features exquisitely finished bead board cabinetry in a compelling beachinspired color palate of greys and blue greens with nickel hardware. Countertops are limestone with a durable finish around sink and cooktop and a softer, more natural finish on the kitchen island. Floors are a practical and neutral 18’ Italian ceramic tile. Stainless steel appliances include: Dacor® range & microwave, Kitchen Aid® dishwasher, SubZero® refrigerator. The under counter mounted Kohler sink is extra wide and deep. Just as in the living room, the overpowering feature of this kitchen is the water view with a wonderful dining area positioned along a full wall of windows with a sliding glass door opening out to the patio and covered grilling deck.

Pantry/Laundry Room Around the corner from the kitchen is a handy pantry with a full wall of storage cabinets in the same exquisite finish as the kitchen. The whirlpool washer and dryer are included with the home. Floors are Italian ceramic tile.

Guest Suite/2nd Bedroom & Bath This peaceful en-suite has a large double door closet and high windows that open for ventilation. There is even a view of water in the lagoon! The bathroom is freshly remodeled with a lovely tiled shower with Grohe fixtures, new Kohler sink, glass tile backsplash, marble counter top, Toto® toilet, and ceramic subway tile flooring.

Master Bedroom Suite What a view! Enjoy a 180 degree view of the Puget Sound and Cascade mountains every day.

This glorious retreat of a room has expansive windows and a sliding door to the covered patio, large walk-in closet and new red oak floors. Enjoy the sound of surf while you sleep!

Master Bath Spacious and luxurious, the master bath features a beautiful cast iron slipper tub with Parrin & Rowe fixtures, a spa inspired walk-in tile shower with Grohe fixtures, Italian porcelain tile floor, and a spacious vanity with twin Kohler memoir top-mount sinks. An opaque glass door provides privacy to the shower and commode.

Upstairs Third Bedroom Walk up the bright and inviting staircase to a delightfully expansive room that is enveloped in the view of the water. Large double paned windows on three walls create an amazing sparkling expanse of waterfront viewing. This room has a wide open floor plan, but if the open concept doesn’t suit you, there is potential for dividing it into 2-3 individual rooms and obviously it’s a prime location for a second master suite.

Third Bathroom Intended as the children’s bathroom, this room is recently updated with straightforward but durable finishes - decolav sink, laminate counter, white cabinetry, built in linen storage, single unit shower and ceramic tile floors.

Garage and Guesthouse Living Area Exterior stairs lead to a comfortable second living area that is refreshingly open with 9’ ceilings, views of both the Puget Sound and the lagoon, Olympics and Cascade mountains.

Two decks with sliding glass doors bring in the outdoors with two inviting sitting areas.

There is a large expanse of cabinets with tile countertop, a kitchen sink, an eating bar and space for other appliances. Floors are new cherry colored bamboo with tile in the kitchenette area.

Boat/R V Storage The extra tall bay of the garage enjoys two sets of 12 x12 doors - one to the driveway and the other on the water side. Ceilings are 16’ to the trusses, with an additional storage platform in the loft.

Garage Garage is a standard 2-car Garage with a 16 x 7' garage door and 9' ceilings, but what is not standard is the gorgeous view of the water from the windows across the back wall!

Dock This home enjoys one of the few docks in the lagoon that does not go dry at low tide. There is approximately 3-4' at lowest tides which allows for year round storage of a power boat. The float is approximately 50 x 10' with a pier that is approximately 70’ long. Water and electricity are available at the top of the dock.

Grounds Property is approximately 75’ wide and spans the entire width of the Point Monroe sand spit.

It is approximately ¼ acre with 150 feet of fully bulk headed waterfront. The Puget Sound side enjoys an expansive aggregate patio across the full width of the home and is accessed from the home by three sets of doors. On the lagoon side, there is a large fully fenced grassy lawn, perfect for a play structure or pets. There is a solid privacy fence with a double door gate to facilitate storage of additional boats or cars or home business needs. Throughout the property is lush, appropriately chosen, landscaping that is easy to maintain.
