Welcome to my 100 year old Whidbey Island farmhouse a quarter mile from the beach! The property is surrounded by wide open grassy farm and pasture land. We have bright sunrises behind the barns up the field to the east and beautiful sunsets over the trees and at the beach to the west. It's on the north end of Whidbey Island, about 2 miles from the main entrance to Deception Pass State Park. There is plenty of space for the whole family to experience Pacific Northwest living at it's best. The space The house is on the northern end of Whidbey Island, well within the Olympic rain shadow that allows us to have less rainfall than most of western Washington. It's a few miles south of Deception Pass Bridge and the main gate to the state park. The public beach 1/4 mile down the road, Moran Beach, is a 6 minute walk and has views of the Olympic Mountains, Vancouver Island, the San Juan Islands and the endless horizon. The property is spacious, cozy and relaxing. There is plenty of parking in the driveway and carport and the large fenced in yard is great for keeping the kids and dog safely having a good time. The covered porch has a nice sitting area for any time of day. The house gets tons of light and feels open and airy. There is a large king sized bed in the primary bedroom, another large bedroom with a queen sized bed and a smaller bedroom with bunk beds. The kitchen is well stocked and you should be able to cook most meals with ease here. The breakfast nook is cozy and bright and a great place for smaller meals or just relaxing with a cup of coffee. The dining room is open and airy and the table seats six and probably more with a squeeze. In the living room is a 65" TV with soundbar and most streaming services. The sofa and lounge chair are comfy and the fireplace is warm and hypnotizing. The original, main bathroom has a large shower and vanity and I just converted an under utilized closet off the primary bedroom into another cute little shower bathroom. There is no tub (that’s the next project). At the side of the house past the kitchen is the washer and dryer and small office space with a sit/stand desk. Just outside beyond the garage is the pool table room. Guest access Guests will have full access to the house, yard and pool table room. The garage area will not be accessible. Other things to note -Please keep in mind this is a 100 year old farmhouse. Its cozy, rustic, minimal but comfy, not lux. I love it and everything works but there are little creaks and quirks that give it character and charm. -I just refinished the original wood floors and installed new wood flooring in parts of the house myself. That was a challenging but rewarding project and I ask that you please remove your shoes in the house. I recommend bringing slippers to wear inside and bringing some easy on/off shoes that you can get in and out of going to and from outside. Thanks in advance ;) -There is a Navy base on the island several miles away and occasionally you may see or hear a jet in the sky. Some people love it, but after growing up on Whidbey I don't even really notice the jets. It is something to consider if you are especially sensitive to noise. Some call it "The Sound of Freedom" haha ;) -The beach down the road is awesome! It's sandy with driftwood and there are often crazy colorful sunsets. It is a public beach, however on both sides it is bordered by houses that have private rights to the beach directly in front of their house. There's enough space to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself at the public portion, but please respect the neighbors. If you want a bigger beach experience, there's about a mile long strip of the same west facing beach further north in Deception Pass State Park. -The house is surrounded by our neighbors' acres of quiet farm and pasture land, but the actual land attached to the house is pretty clearly marked by fences. It's about 1/3 of an acre in total. Plenty of space but please respect the boundaries of the adjacent neighbors. -I just had a refurbished 3 piece slate pool table with brand new felt put in the rec room next to the garage. Please NO DRINKS ON THE TABLE to prevent spills (its a sacred rule in the pool world!). There is plenty of space for drinks on the shelf in the corner. Also the guy installing it spent a lot of time leveling it so please try to avoid bumping the table or otherwise moving it to keep it level. Thanks! -The house is out in the country as you can see, so we are on a septic system and private well. You may see hard water marks on glass dishes or around the sink but the water is perfectly fine. We run it through a Brita filter but also provide bottled water if you'd like to drink that. Please go easy on the toilet and only flush toilet paper.
