Description

Set on two private acres overlooking the water with direct waterfront access via Guemes Trail, this waterside estate captures 220-degree views across eight islands, the Canadian Coast Mountains, and ferries moving through Thatcher Pass beneath unforgettable sunsets. Thoughtfully remodeled with a focus on architectural distinctiveness and enduring materials, the home balances distinctive design elements with its extraordinary coastal setting. Italian stone surrounds 8 gas fireplaces, with reclaimed European oak ceilings, floors and beams. Walls of windows frame the changing seascape, bringing natural light and expansive views. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious bath featuring an English copper soaking tub, solarium, fireplace, and reading area. An elevator connects all levels, leading to an upper private office with an eagle’s-eye view and balcony, and to the lower-level guest quarters and recreation spaces including sauna, exercise room, media room, game room, wine storage, and patios with hot tub. Every room has a water view, even the garage. A wraparound deck spanning three sides offers the perfect vantage point for pink sunrises. Rare tumbled travertine marble appears throughout, plus a heated seven-car garage and separate heated workshop. A coastal estate where craftsmanship, privacy, and sweeping island views come together in one extraordinary setting.
