Imagine South-Facing Water view Estate with Deeded Private Beach Access—A stunning water view home in Sunlight Beach, a coveted community where properties rarely leave families. This south-facing sanctuary combines spectacular sound views, deeded private beach access, and a meadow backdrop—the complete waterfront lifestyle. Recently updated with new roof, furnace, windows, and appliances (installed within last 10 years), this home is move-in ready. When you tour make sure you find the secret door to the climbing wall that goes to a reading nook. Vaulted ceilings and open-concept living spaces flow onto a large deck—the perfect perch for sunrise coffee or end-of-day drinks. The electric heated wood hot tub, wood barrel sauna, lawn games and outdoor movie screen create a perpetual summer-camp vibe. When winter arrives, watch storms roll across the sound from your elevated living room while the fireplace warms the whole home. Just 350 feet away, miles of sugar-sand beach await. Hand carry your crab pot out to catch dinner, kayak, swim, sunbathe, or simply stroll. The deeded access makes this home special—a rarity on South Whidbey. As a bonus, this home has several years of history as a short-term rental generating approximately $50,000 in revenue annually. Sunlight Beach is perched between Bayview and Langley—your gateway to award-winning restaurants, galleries, wineries, and shops. The ferry terminal is 10 minutes away.
