The setting is the first thing that grabs you. Homes with real Puget Sound views are always special, and here the perspective looks straight out over the water toward distant islands and the Olympic Mountains. It’s the kind of view that changes all day long from soft morning light to those glowing Northwest sunsets. The architecture also hits a sweet spot. This isn’t a flashy new mansion, it’s a true estate with history. The symmetrical Colonial-style façade, columned entry, and circular motor court create a classic arrival moment that immediately signals you’re somewhere special. Inside, the home flows naturally between formal and relaxed living. The living room frames the water through large windows and opens directly to the terraces, while the kitchen and family room feel like the heartbeat of the house. The finishes lean timeless rather than trendy - custom cabinetry, warm wood accents, and brass details that will age gracefully. With six bedrooms throughout the home, there’s also plenty of space to host friends and family, which makes this feel less like a weekend house and more like a place where everyone can settle in for a while. Outside, the grounds are exceptional. Brick terraces, hydrangea-lined paths, sculpted hedges, and outdoor gathering areas create multiple garden “rooms” to explore. The outdoor dining terrace with a fireplace is particularly memorable, it feels designed for long summer dinners and lingering conversations. And then there’s the indoor gymnasium. With its soaring skylit ceiling, hardwood sport court, and walls of glass opening to the grounds, it’s a rare amenity that turns recreation into an experience.
