FOR SALE! $329,950. Solid oak floors throughout the main floor, arched passage ways, and cathedral ceilings greet you as you walk in to this marvel of craftsmanship. Many upgrades have been installed since '05: Top of the line Milgard clear-cedar-faced, double-pane windows, upgraded bathroom with Jacuzzi and shower, tiled floor, European sink, and designer toilet, all wheelchair accessible. Upgraded kitchen, landscaping, plus an apartment downstairs and a grandfathered cabin. This is a unique home, and what a gem it is! This is a rare opportunity to buy in an ideal location. Reminiscent of a fine Swiss Chalet, it is a solidly-built, kiln-dried, Western Red Cedar throughout. It is a precisely engineered "Lincoln log" home by Pan Abode, Inc. It has a Tuscan tiled counter and backsplash, with original "butcher-block"hard maple cabinets in a beauteous, natural woodgrain, nicely done with a high-gloss finish. This bargain price is far below current market value, (especially in this historic neighborhood). It is blessed with Master Gardener-quality landscaping, and fenced all 'round the house. The .62 acre lot extends halfway into Chuckanut Creek with your own private bank beach. As noted, downstairs is a totally independent suite with large bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen, all in a total daylight basement! It's a spacious family home, in a private park-like, sylvan setting, with lots of room for rambunctious kids to run and play. It is also a serene haven for a more settled family to enjoy the peaceful setting of Chuckanut Village, (and still be so close to Fairhaven Village's amenties). The basement also has a vault room, (wine cellar?), mud room, and copious storage spaces. It has an interior stairway to the main floor, of course. and down. Downstairs is a large bonus, or pantry/recreation room, also. Again, perfectly ideal for a family member. Also on the property is the original, centenarian and grandfathered ADU cabin, (with the neighbors' documentation to prove it). Again, an ideal spot for a relative, if you custom remodel up from our improvements of new bathroom with shower and laundry hookups. Presently, we use it for a workshop and storage for the kayaks, et cetera. With city greenspaces border north and south, privacy is assured. The Interurban Trail and Chuckanut Mt. trailhead are in sight distance. Chuckanut Bay Park, newly refit for ADA accessibility, is .3 miles downhill. A short portage across the footbridge and your kayaks are afloat! Neighborhood Description Long established, pioneer families still hold major portions of the pocket village on the protected bay. Just ask around about how rarely a property comes up for sale around here. People are friendly, but mind their own business.
