Perched on 130 feet of scenic low bank beachfront right along the shimmering Case Inlet, this Herron Island cabin getaway presents a truly rare opportunity! Vacation-worthy living unfolds from the moment the private ferry pulls up to the dock on Herron Island; spend your days observing sea life from your deck, head out kayaking and boating whenever the mood strikes, and make the most of community amenities where you can meet your neighbors. Time spent inside the comfort of home is just as delightful—this 1,344-square-foot cabin features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and warm, welcoming living spaces. Located at 21 E Herron Boulevard NW Lakebay, WA 98349 on a double-sized lot that you may be able to divide, this property is listed for $650,000.
This one owner legacy home opens up a lifetime of new possibilities. Whether you live here full time or this classic cabin is your weekend getaway, the quintessential Pacific Northwest setting is an absolute joy to experience no matter the time of year. Stunning Case Inlet runs between magical, private Herron Island and the Key Peninsula, and this saltwater playground offers views of whales, seals, eagles, herons (of course!), and so much more. Here you have 130 feet of low bank beachfront all to yourself; admire views as you explore the beach, sunbathe out on the deck, or relax inside the home. Expansive views in all directions await!
A large sliding door from the deck to the main living area not only improves the panoramic views from inside, but promises effortless indoor-outdoor living. Gorgeous wood elements create a cozy cabin aesthetic, and the retro fireplace is the statement-making centerpiece of the main floor. Imagine chilly winter evenings alongside the warmth of the fireplace while you play games and catch up with loved ones. Gather in the bright dining area that’s easily within reach of the kitchen, and let life unfold with ease!
The main floor also includes a bedroom, full bath, and mudroom. In the large loft, you’ll find wonderful versatility; in addition to a half bath, there’s more than enough room for multiple beds so guests can stay comfy. There are dreamy water views from here, too!
Forested beauty surrounds this cabin retreat, providing a sense of seclusion that lets you feel worlds away. There’s RV parking and outbuilding storage, and terraced parking means plenty of room for water toys.
