About This Home

As of October 2019

Rare Oceanfront Property on Lowell Point! This 2014 custom-built 3 bed 2 bath Beach Cottage features high-end finishes & was built with an artistic attention to detail. Property includes .92 acres total, on both sides of Beach Dr. and 100' of private oceanfront land. Amazing views of mountains & ocean from nearly every room! Large Trex deck for enjoying the incredible location. 1 car garage.This is one of Seward's only custom beach homes on Resurrection Bay! This amazing house has a fabulous deck for soaking up the views of Resurrection Bay and Mount Alice, as well as humpback and orca whales, sea otters, sea lions, and bald eagles. Walk across the street where you can enjoy your own private beach.

When walking up to the charming cottage, notice the unique carvings in the cedar railings. Salmon and rock fish silhouettes create a charming look to the large front deck. Built-in deck planters boast beautiful summer flowers. Made of Trex and cedar, this deck is built to last and perfect for enjoying the picture-perfect location and panoramic views.

Upon entering the home, you will feel immediately relaxed with the beach house ambiance created by the vaulted pine tongue and groove ceiling, open layout, and cozy built in fireplace.

As you take in the welcoming space, start to notice the unique artistic touches! A custom-tiled entrance showcases the builder's talents with a mosaic of orcas swimming through the ocean. High-end cork floors, white-washed wainscotting, knotty pine trim, and solid wood interior doors bring together the feeling of being in a true beachside cottage.

The cozy bedrooms have views of the mountains, light dimmers, and walk-in closets. There is a third room charmingly called the sleeping porch, which is a third bedroom with direct deck access.

Two custom-tiled bathrooms boast plenty of space and have added creative touches of ceramic tiles with river rock accents.

Even the utility room and laundry area are thoughtfully designed with a separate side entrance, wash basin and propane-fired dryer. The on-demand Oil Misers create constant availability of hot water and baseboard heat.

The engineered foundation is designed to be sturdy with pile-driven steel casings and work performed by certified welders. The tank room under the home is fully spray-foamed and houses the 3,000 gallon cistern, which can fill overnight!

The detached 320 sq ft one car garage has a attractive cupola and plenty of space for storage. It even houses a 7000 watt generator as back up, if needed.

The Layout:

Two bedrooms with walk in closets
Two bathrooms with tile showers
Washer/dryer
Fully equipped kitchen
Large living area with a gas fireplace and a full-sized hide-a-bed
Cozy dining area with great views of Resurrection Bay
There is another living room attached to the master bedroom that can be closed off to make into a private third bedroom. It still has a private access into the master bathroom, a door out to the deck, and the couch makes into a queen-sized sofa sleeper.

Lowell Point has various boat and kayak rentals and guided trips available, as well as the ever popular Tonsina Creek Trailhead for a great morning or afternoon hike. Lowell Point also offers a convenient public launch access for boats and kayaks.
