Indoors: A gate at street level opens to a driveway leading down to the house. The front entrance is set in a covered porch with a wood deck.
From the entryway, steps lead down to an open living area with an electric fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the backyard and the bay beyond, and Bordeaux pine floors installed during a 2019 gut renovation. To the left of the sitting area is space for a dining table, with more seats at the center island in the adjacent kitchen, which has stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinets and white-stone countertops.
Off the right side of the foyer is a hallway that leads to the three bedrooms. The primary suite, at the far end, has another electric fireplace, glass doors that open to a private part of the rear deck and a bathroom with heated tile floors, a stone soaking tub that sits under a chandelier imported from Italy, and a separate shower.
The two other bedrooms are spacious; one currently serves as a home office, and the other as a den. They share a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a long vanity with two sets of drawers.
From this part of the house, a staircase leads to the lower level, set up as a comfortable media space with a built-in bar, a powder room and a wine storage room with space for several racks.
Outdoor space: An expansive wood deck in back of the house has covered and uncovered sections, with views of the bay and, in the distance, the San Juan Islands. A fire table in the uncovered area has room for chairs surrounding it; a fireplace beneath a roof overhang is the focal point of an outdoor dining spot. Beyond the deck is a large lawn.
Taxes: $24,228 (estimated)
