The house at 1856 Southshore Rd was originally built in 1961 as a family summer retreat. In 2001 the house was given a major renovation. The original flat roof was replaced with a composition shingle roof with a 4:12 slope and craftsman style exterior detailing. All single pane windows were replaced with double pane windows. The kitchen was upgraded with new appliances. The existing electric baseboard heat was supplemented with a new Lopi wood stove. By replacing the flat roof with a sloped roof and installing windows at the gabled ends, the interior space was transformed with the introduction of more light. The 600 SF living space which previously was dark and cramped is now light and spacious. The daylight basement is 600 SF of unfinished and unheated space with a concrete floor and fluorescent lighting. There is a washer, dryer, electric hotwater heater and some work benches and storage shelves in this space. But most of the basement is available space. The basement is accessed by one 36 inch wide door and one 8 ft wide barndoor. There is a 253 SF cedar deck on the North side of the building on the main floor level which was renovated in 2020. There is also a 160 SF cedar deck on the South side on the main floor level which was renovated in 2021. Access to the main floor is provided from either deck. The house sits on a 0.53 acre parcel which fronts on 230 ft of Southshore Rd to the South and 230 ft of Lake Sutherland to the North. The property is accessible by vehicle from Southshore Rd all the way to the shoreline and the house. Of that not occupied by the house, about half of the parcel is maintained as lawn and the remainder as native vegetation. The lawn area is spacious and available for visitor parking, frisbee tossing or any other Summer fun activities. The vegetated areas provide a privacy buffer from Southshore Rd and an endless source of firewood for the wood stove. There is an 8 ft x 41 ft Candock anchored at the shoreline which was installed in 2010. The Candock provides low maintenance access to water related activities such as swimming and boating. There is a metered connection to the Mallard Cove Association water system. There is an on-site gravity septic system. Electric power is provided by Clallam County PUD. Century Link has telephone wires to the house. CresComm WiFi, LLC can provide fixed wireless internet access. Verizon's cellular phone service is very good at this location.
