About This Home

As of April 2015

CHARM! Spend your mornings with a cup of Joe, watch the sun sparkle off the water. Spectacular evening sunsets over the Olympics. Open the custom wood framed windows to feel the breeze flow through the house. Pop over to the Morgan/Alaska junction, jaunt down the Thistle steps to enjoy a day at Lincoln Park, taking in the views of the sound. Relax and entertain in the quiet, private back yard. Situated on a huge corner lot with a gigantic detached garage, custom cabinets and built-ins. Perfect.
