Panoramic views of Case Inlet and the Olympic Mountains await with this spectacular 1,365-square-foot waterfront property that offers western exposure and jaw-dropping sunsets! This home’s 1-level layout features 2 bedrooms (which includes a master suite and junior suite), an old-school bunk room, 1.75 baths, and cabin-inspired living spaces, all in addition to a shop with covered parking for boats and more. Plus, you get access to a boat ramp, cabana, and the spit at Vaughn Bay! Located at 8608 189th Ave NW Vaughn, WA 98394, this one-of-a-kind residence is listed for $485,000.

Tucked away in a lush getaway that’s brimming with gorgeous natural greenery, this private oasis provides vacation-worthy living all year long. You can rest assured that there’s plenty of opportunity for outdoor exploration and enjoyment here, whether you’re tending to garden beds around the house or you’re out on the water. A huge partially covered deck shows off one of the best views around, and built-in benches are ready to help you host a crowd for weekend barbecues and summertime get-togethers! Another shady deck awaits around the corner, and you can gather around a fire to roast s’mores while the sun sets—get ready for truly memorable views!  

Sturdy beach stairs guide you down to the water’s edge where you’ll find rock bulkhead, and after taking kayaks out on the water, you can relax down on the deck or wander along the shoreline taking in the view and the fresh air. You can also dig for clams and collect oysters—dinner is served!

This picturesque home offers a haven of comfort, and the open-concept living area is an absolute delight to spend time in. A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the water at every turn, while wood elements throughout create a warm and cozy vibe. Gather around the rock-accented fireplace that’s flanked by handsome built-ins, or rest on the bench window seating that’s right under the unique, round window.

The layout opens up into the dining nook and kitchen, a well-designed space that offers ample storage, bar-style counter seating, and efficiency at your fingertips. Handsome cabinets feature open shelving and windowed doors so you can show off treasured dishware, and even more storage can be found by the fridge and washer/dryer.

Find indulgent comfort in this home’s master suite and junior suite—each tranquil retreat offers its own special details. The spacious master suite is especially not to miss, with its impressive vaulted ceilings, direct deck access, and ensuite bath that’s characterized by gorgeous woodwork as well.
