We call this property 'The Aerie on the Strait' in honor of the Bald Eagles' nest hidden at the top of a conifer above the house. We often hear their cries and see them soaring along the bluffs, even though we can't see the nest. The Aerie is situated midway between Sequim and Port Angeles on the coast, it affords residents convenient access to amenities in both Port Angeles and Sequim, while offering a secluded, forested setting for the home. This is 3000+ sq.ft. three-level home, on high-bluff acreage along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Although there are excellent water views from the property, there is no beach access from the home. The home is sited about 100 feet back from the bluff edge; there is a narrow pathway to minimal seating for viewing at the bluff edge. The acreage includes open grassy areas safe for children to play, but parents of small children must impose their own safeguards to protect children from venturing close to the bluff top. The Master Suite on the top floor includes a large bedroom with covered deck outside, a walk-in closet, bath with separate toilet closet, double sinks, separate shower and soaking tub. The middle floor comprises the Great Room, Kitchen, open Dining Area, a nook, two bedrooms (or use one as an office) and a full bath. Sliding doors off the dining area open onto to a deck. The lower (ground) floor comprises a bedroom, bath with walk-in shower, a generously sized multi-purpose Room and a Laundry. Sliding doors from the multi-purpose room open on a small patio. There is off-street parking for four or five passenger vehicles; however, unless by special arrangement, the garage is not included in the rental. Views from the Great Room and Master Suite deck include the Strait coastline west to Ediz Hook, traffic in the shipping lanes, with Victoria, B.C. in the distance. In the pictures accompanying this listing the home is shown fully furnished, in its vacation-rental condition. We are happy to work with prospective tenants to include most or only some furnishings with the rental, or to remove all of the furniture from the home. Non-smokers only. We expect tenants to have combined gross income sources that are at least three times the rental amount. We require Zillow applications from each adult prospective tenant. The home's heat pump supplies both heating and cooling; PUD supplies power, while an on-site private well supplies water. The home has a locked mailbox in the community cluster box unit. There is an above-ground propane tank that supplies propane for the gas-fired fireplace, all other appliances are electric. 10 - 12 mbps internet speeds are available through DSL (telephone line). Streaming TV is available through the internet, but cable-TV is not available and satellite-TV reception is difficult because of surrounding trees. Utilities such as electricity, phone/internet, trash collection, and propane are the responsibilities of the Tenant. The Landlord maintains the on-site septic system with annual servicing. For the past eight years this home has been a 5-star, owner-managed vacation rental. We, the owners, live in the same neighborhood; in a nod to tranquility in our neighborhood, we want to transition the home to more permanent neighbors. We offer the property on a one-year lease, but we hope to find a more permanent tenant. The home is entirely suitable for a family of five or six.
