Property Description
Wanting a home at the beach? This island retreat sits less than 50 yards from the water, with sweeping views toward Thatcher Pass and the surrounding islands. It’s a great getaway from Seattle and a second home in the islands doesn’t have to mean long ferry lines or complicated logistics. A private passenger ferry can bring you to Decatur Island from Anacortes in about 30 minutes and you'll find just what you've been looking for. Inside, the home is warm, bright, and easy to settle into: wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a cozy propane stove, and sunlight pouring through generous windows. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a new induction range and Bosch refrigerator, and looks out over a gently sloping green hillside where sheep often wander. The open "Great Room" keeps cooking, dining, and relaxing connected. A main-floor primary bedroom and ¾ bath add convenience, while upstairs offers another bedroom plus a spacious bonus room perfect for guests, movie nights, or a dedicated home office. Beds, dresser and Eames-style chair can stay. Also includes 2020 Yamaha golf cart. Decatur Northwest spans 600 acres of forest, meadow, and shoreline, with two sandy beaches, a deep-water dock, regularly scheduled private passenger ferry, Skyline parking space, tennis courts, community gardens, and miles of trails. Whether you’re into kayaking, beachcombing, hiking, or simply unwinding in nature, this island home at Sylvan Cove offers it all.
