Charming peaceful artist's paradise. This is truly your Cottage by the Sea! Enjoy the company of song birds, deer, and bunnies. Soak in views of the Puget Sound waters to the south. Let the distant bellow of the San Juan Islands Ferry horn on a foggy spring morning remind you that you are living the coastal life. Walk a half mile to the ferry terminal for an afternoon of island adventures, or enjoy an evening stroll just a quarter mile downhill to Washington Park beach to soak in the sunset. For exercise, take a stroll around Washington Park loop road or trails for a delightful 3 mile loop from the house and back. Have a flight out of Seattle? Just walk a few blocks down Skyline Way to the Old Salts Deli and catch the Airporter Shuttle to SEATAC. If you're saving gas, the city transit bus will pick you up across the street from your driveway, or jump on your bicycle for the 4 mile ride into town. If you're a naturalist and or a gourmet cook, the fresh cherries, peaches, apples, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and broad selection of culinary and cosmetic herbs will keep your creativity flowing!
