A Puget Sound Waterfront Estate Designed to Gather, Entertain & Inspire. Some properties are defined by square footage. Others by architecture, acreage or waterfront. This remarkable Puget Sound estate brings all of those elements together, but what truly distinguishes it is how the property lives. Set across 5 private acres & 209’ of Puget Sound waterfront, 2 substantial residences, extraordinary timber-frame craftsmanship, expansive outdoor living areas & exceptional garage & workshop facilities, this is a property created not simply to be lived in, but to be experienced. For years, the current owner has used this estate exactly that way. Corporate company barbecues, weddings, Fourth of July celebrations & memorable gatherings w/ friends have all found a natural home here. The grounds, residences & waterfront spaces function together almost like a private venue, capable of comfortably accommodating a crowd while still feeling intimate and peaceful when the guests have gone home. At the heart of the estate is the 5,672 sf main residence, an architectural blend of classic Craftsman & New England influences expressed through substantial timber frame construction. The craftsmanship is immediately apparent. Exposed structural timbers, beautifully detailed wood ceilings, oversized windows, custom millwork & warm natural finishes create a home that feels substantial without being formal. Rather than competing with its waterfront setting, the architecture frames it.
