A paddling, crabbing, shellfish harvesting, and birding paradise sits at the head of Mud Bay, overlooking an extensive tidal marsh with views of Lopez Sound all the way to Mount Constitution. The beautifully maintained waterfront home, built in classic island style with a soaring roofline framing the panoramic water view and sky, is made for gathering in the great room. The remodeled kitchen enjoys that view as well and is conveniently augmented by a large walk-in pantry. Two primary suites, a third bedroom, a large loft, a studio room for games and crafts, a utility/laundry room, large two car garage, and a boat shelter will comfortably host all your people and house your tools and toys. Stay cozy and sustainably in the home year round with features like the solar array, a newer heating ventilation air conditioning system, and wood stove. The flowering perennials and fruit trees that surround the home, along with two garden areas for berries and vegetables watered by catchment-sourced irrigation, plus a grassy open area for games and a large fire pit for s'mores and more are fully fenced. The four point three three acres of the main parcel also encompasses a lush wild area to the east with another fire pit and sitting area oriented toward summer sunsets. Most of the tidal marsh and shoreline is shared in common with the adjacent lot. Steward this special island habitat with its ponds and winding watercourse while enjoying south end living at its best. Minutes from Islandale Grocery & Restaurant, beaches, and trails.
