EASTGATE MID-CENTURY
This house is a perfect first-time home or vacation home, and would work well for an island location, as well as possibly to be moved further inland than many of the houses we have available.
Originally built in 1954, this house features high quality red oak hardwood floors and a vaulted living room ceiling. The kitchen has had a major update and has granite countertops, and nice quality appliances that will likely be included in the house move (please inquire about details).
This home has a short timeline, so we’ve priced it for a quick sale! Please don’t delay if you have interest in saving this home!

HILLTOP MID-CENTURY
This is a well-built, classic mid-century home (built in 1956) with hardwood oak floors and a spacious living room. The home has a small galley-style kitchen with an adjacent area for a kitchen table. The buyer could easily open up the kitchen wall to the living room for an open-style plan, or even expand or move the kitchen into the attached garage—which will be left attached and included as part of the house move.
There is one full bath and a very simple second ‘bath’ in the a large utility room (so it doesn’t fully qualify as a second bathroom). The utility room is large enough to be reconfigured into a spacious powder room / laundry room combination with a simple, post-move renovation.
The base square footage is listed as 1020 sq/ft, but if you renovate, adding the garage, you would add an additional 292.5 sq/ft to become 1,312.5 sq/ft total. Another option would be to build a “full-height daylight basement” under the house—rather than a 4-foot crawlspace—effectively doubling the square footage to become a 2,600 sq/ft home! I liked to say that, doing this during a house move is the ‘cheapest time’ to ever double your square footage in your lifetime!!
NOTE: This house would be perfect as a local move in the Issaquah or Renton area, but is narrow enough that it can be moved to other places around the Puget Sound (Whidbey, San Juan Islands, etc.) and the islands in British Columbia by barge.
This home has a limited timeline and is priced to sell, so we encourage you to contact our office right away to learn more!
CAMANO ISLAND COTTAGE
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!

COHO BEACH COTTAGE
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!
SUNSET GRAND
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!
FINN HILL SPLIT-LEVEL MODERN
This traditional home has a nice, wide open living plan with a huge living room which opens to the kitchen. The bedroom sizes are generous, and the Master Bedroom has a palatial walk-in closet with plenty of storage.
Currently it is set up as a split entry with a half-staircase going both up and down from the front door. If you add back a full daylight basement, you would double the square footage to 2,600 sq/ft. If you keep it a single story and put it on a crawlspace, then you would simply move the front door up to the same height as the living room and fill in the floor where the half-stairs currently are. This would add a bit of square footage to the already-large living room!
This house is of good construction quality, and it has plenty of light, and generous room for your daily activities.
Contact your local office to learn more about this great house or to arrange to view it!
KITSAP CARRIAGE HOUSE
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!
