SERVICE WITH INTEGRITY

“3rd and 4th Generation ‘Whidbeyites’ with a combined 60 years of Real Estate Experience, to Serve You and ALL of your Real Estate needs.”

www.whidbeypropertiesforsale.com

This Property Is Much More Than Meets The Eye. With over 136 ft. of no bank westside waterfront and a 2 bedroom beach cottage, it doesn’t get anymore ‘Whidbey’ than this.

Shown on Cover

As this property is located on the most westerly point of no bank waterfront Maxwelton beach, your views are beyond superior.

180+ degree views encompasses Useless Bay, the entire Olympic Mountain range (so close you can almost touch them) plus the coveted shipping lanes view. Unlike many westside properties, this location offers more passive waters for boating, swimming and fishing without giving up the beauty of westerly, southerly, northerly views and of course the amazing close of the day sunsets.

Located near the end of a sleepy street in the quaint Maxwelton Beach Community, some of the Islands most fascinating beach front awaits you.

Moments away from the community park, ball field, sports court, BBQ, and picnic areas, it’s a great place to enjoy while socializing with the locals.

Given the 136 ft. of waterfront and the 2/3 acre, your private entertainment space is well taken care of.

Minutes away from the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry makes an easy commute. Conveniently located near Langley, Bayview Corner and Freeland, you’ll have all the amenities these areas have to offer. Shop, dine, sip a latte, hit the local markets, see a flick, browse galleries and boutiques.

The incredibly charming 2 bedroom cottage is the epitomy of Whidbey Beach 12

May 2012

Cottages. Built over half a century ago and lovingly maintained. Used by the owners for 3 three generations, it continues to be the perfect respite from everyday life. It also happens to have an extensive vacation rental following, many returning at the same time every year. An ideal getaway spot without being too far from the mainland.

You can even supplement your income with a bit of vacation rental from time to time! The Sellers have removed all the mystery from this exclusive property.

Recently surveyed for boundary lines and elevation certificate. All that’s in hand and ready to go.

They’ve also installed a very progressive State and County approved ‘Eco-Friendly’

Bulkhead, rather than an unsightly concrete bulkhead impacting your view and beach access. Highly Engineered, this particular form of bulkhead is not only extremely effective but creates no visual impact whatsoever. It’s invisible to the eye and virtually indistinguishable from the native driftwood you’ll be able to use for your beach bonfires.

As a final note, some may consider 2/3 of an acre, 136 ft. of no bank waterfront with a 504 sq. ft. cottage ‘underdeveloped’.

It very well is underdeveloped, You simply don’t find opportunities like this anymore.

This property is a perfect opportunity to get your foot in the door of a VERY substantial and rare waterfront parcel.

An easy living cottage right now, with plenty of room to expand to your luxury dream home a bit later on. All the while, enjoying the property as it is for years to come.

For anyone looking at waterfront property of any kind, this one is a must see.

Contact us or your Broker today to arrange for your personal viewing or for any additional information.

Fidalgo & Whidbey Islands

Deception Pass is located in Island County and there

are the two channels separating main land Washington and Whidbey Island. It is a waterway that has gained a reputation as being "Washington's most active waterway because of the volume of water that travels through the channels during Puget Sound's tidal changes.

During the tidal changes there are only two ways for water to leave or enter Puget Sound; around the southern tip of Whidbey Island the through Deception Pass. Since the passageways are so narrow the volume of water can move up to 17 knots in either direction.

Fort Casey was created in 1890 as part of a triangulation of three fortifications to defend the entrance to Puget Sound.

The original lighthouse, built in 1858, was torn down when the fort was built and this one was built in its place in 1903.

Within the state park you will find a small beachfront campground great for flying kites, the lighthouse and batteries, 68 picnic tables, 1.3 miles of trail and 10,810 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound. The park also includes Keystone Spit, about a two mile stretch of land separating Admiralty Inlet and Crockett Lake.

While today this place may seem out of the way, it was once the heart of Whidbey Island. Early settlements relied on boats for both goods and travel. The growing popularity of the automobile and the construction of the Deception Pass Bridge in 1937 brought this era to an end.

This was the town's fourth wharf, built in 1905 by a group of local farmers and merchants who wanted a structure long enough that boats could unload at low tide. This wharf extends 500 feet into Penn Cove. It is now owned and operated by the Port of Coupeville.

Through many price changes, bank ownerships, auctions and various twists and turns in the sales process, John stood right with us, invaluable with his guidance, encouragement, patience, tenacity and expertise. He kept communications going on both sides - even during the darkest negotiation periods, yet still maintained his easygoing positive attitude which won the sale.
