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 Mt. 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 HVAC system, and wood stove. The fully fenced area around the home features flowering perennials, fruit trees, and garden areas for berries and veggies, watered by catchment-sourced irrigation, plus a grassy, open area for games, and a large fire pit for s'mores and more. The 4.33 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. Steward this special island habitat, with its ponds and winding watercourse--a 2.62 acre waterfront parcel (a total of 1,897 ft of beach and estuarine shoreline) is held in common with an adjacent parcel. Minutes from Islandale Grocery & Restaurant, and south end beaches, & trails.
