Hidden at the end of a rustic country lane on Manzanita Bay, this shingled waterfront retreat offers all the charm of a bygone era. A quiet and tranquil getaway steeped in old world style and casual elegance, with wooded privacy, beautiful views of the Olympics and easy access to the water. Stone detailing, a gabled roof line and a delightful dutch door at the entry set the stage for comfortable interiors featuring wide-plank fir floors, soaring ceilings with wood and exposed beam accents, gorgeous fireplaces, and windows galore. The light-filled, open floor plan features a large center-island cook's kitchen conveniently located between the cozy family room and the more formal dining and living rooms, all enjoying wonderful views of the gardens and the water. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer alcoves and sloped ceilings, with a luxurious master suite that includes a sitting room and private balcony, while on the lower level, a spacious media and bonus room shares a bath, kitchen and garden terrace...perfect for entertaining or for extra guests. Tucked away and epitomizing casual elegance at its best, this is what island living is all about!
