If you want a real getaway, with stunning mountain and water views, still close to downtown Seattle--here it is. Tucked away down a private drive, secluded from all vehicular and pedestrian traffic, you can't get any closer to the water than this low-bank waterfront beach cottage right on the shores of Puget Sound. Enjoy a 180+ degree westerly facing view of the Olympic Mountains; Alki Point; Vashon, Blake, and Bainbridge Islands; along with spectacular sunsets. Share your space with eagles and herons, otters and seals, even dolphin and whales. Watch the parade of wind surfers and sailboats; ferries, freighters, and fishing boats; even the Christmas ships! Sea kayak or paddle board from your back door. Crab from your private beach. Walk to Lowman and Lincoln Parks. Bike to Alki. Bus or water taxi to downtown. In a tenant's words, "I never tire of the magnificent views of the water, sunsets, and mountains, BBQ's on the spacious deck, relaxing on the bulkhead that hugs the water's edge, the seductive pounding of the waves, the sparkle of snow on the Olympics, otters and sea lions at play--all while nestled in my cozy beachside West Seattle hideaway. It feels as if I'm on a permanent vacation." With a freshly painted interior, there's an updated kitchen with dishwasher and brand new fridge and convection range, bath with tub/shower, full size washer/dryer, large picture windows letting in lots of light along with the view, spacious 190-square-foot deck at water's edge with bench seats and gas grill, off-street parking for one vehicle, storage shed, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace to relax by a roaring fire during the winter storms--all in a quiet, high-end neighborhood of single-family waterfront homes and estates.
