This is an AMAZING small home that is perfect for an island getaway or your 1st-time affordable home. The previous owners did a full, top-to-bottom renovation about 17-years ago, including replacing most of the windows with Milgard double-pane thermal windows, and installing Saratoga Heart Pine floors throughout.

NOTE: The Saratoga Heart Pine floors are ¾ inch solid plank from a mill on the east coast. It is known for its durability and unique character.

Home Layout & Design

The home features a true open plan layout, and has many modern amenities, including an IKEA kitchen with glass front cabinets and a built-in microwave. For heat there is a modern convection radiator in the bedroom and a custom gas stove in the living room which has won awards for efficiency. The stove is surrounded by glass on three sides and originally cost over $3,500 and is included with the moved home.

This house, other than expected wear-and-tear, is practically “turnkey” once it is delivered to your property and connected to utilities.

Adding Value to Your Home

At under 1,000 sqft, it can be used in most jurisdictions as a “Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU)” while still maintaining another, larger home on your property. If you were to decide to put it on a full-height daylight basement (rather than a 4-foot crawlspace) you could enjoy the benefits of a true primary residence by adding additional bedrooms downstairs, or even using it as a rental to help pay for your mortgage…

NOTE: In this configuration, your total square footage would be over 1,600 sq/ft once you build out your daylight basement!

*THIS HOME WILL SELL QUICKLY*

This is an absolutely charming, brightly colored beach cottage which may be perfect for your lot!

Whether you keep it small & modest or have us lift it up high enough to become a *carriage house* over a garage, you will be able to continue this house’s colorful history with a long, new chapter written about your own family’s time with this small treasure.

The house is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin, but built stoutly with 2×8 floor joists on 24-inch centers (pretty solid for a 657 sq/ft cabin).

It has a charming galley style kitchen, a small pantry, and an enclosed porch with room for a washer/dryer, and a single bathroom.

THIS LOVELY HOUSE HAS BEEN MOVED BEFORE!!

One of the previous owners of this cottage, author, Sue Mills, published a book called “The Divine Mirror of Loneliness,” in which she writes about Berte Olson from Stavanger, Norway, who’s family became one of the early homesteaders in the area where the cottage is now. Berte—who lived in the house on Fidalgo Island just north of Whidbey—became the first female ferryboat captain in the State of Washington in the early 1900s before the Deception Pass Bridge was built.

Berte’s ferry service business was all but quashed once the bridge opened. However, she showed her salt by moving the house *herself* by barge & tug to where the house is presently located on Whidbey Island, giving it to her sister to live in for the rest of her life. Berte then moved to the Hood Canal and then set up a new ferryboat service down there!

This house is already popular and is likely to find its “house rescuers” very quickly. Don’t hesitate to contact our office ASAP if you wish to learn more!

This grand two-story home embraces the view almost like no other! The bedrooms (three in total) are generous in size and unbeatable in terms of the view potential. There are plenty of bathrooms for an active family or a vacation home (four in all).

The main floor features an ‘open plan’ layout for the main entertaining areas, and most of the public rooms are also facing the view side of the house. There is also a spare room on the main floor that could be used as an office space or even a spare bedroom.

It is constructed well with quality finishes and features, including the unique “porthole” door, engineered hardwood floors, and tile floor elements in some high traffic areas. The upstairs is largely carpeted.

This home is the perfect waterfront home! Please contact the office for more information or to arrange a viewing!

This wonderful Carriage House — newly built in 2003 — works perfectly as a DADU (“detached accessory dwelling unit”) as it will meet a common permitting criteria for most jurisdictions (typically 800 sq/ft) for a DADU or “mother-in-law” unit.

It can also be renovated to add a kitchen in the downstairs utility room. Just add some windows in that section and you can achieve a modest both mighty rental unit to accompany your primary residence, or as a cute Craftsman-style vacation destination for you and your family.

Please be sure to watch the walk-through video to see how the layout currently flows and how you can modify it to your needs!
