Set atop a dramatic rock in the breathtaking San Juan Islands, this newly reimagined coastal home feels almost suspended above the water—serene, magical, and deeply grounding from the moment you step inside. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the horizon so close it feels like you’re floating. Refined yet effortlessly inviting, this 3,411± sf mid-century–revamped residence offers designer finishes, mirrored primary suites, spa-like baths, cozy wood-burning fireplaces, and gentle southwest light. With 345± ft of shoreline, easy access to the ferry and village, and low-maintenance living, it’s a zen-infused coastal haven you simply have to experience in person.
