The original historic cottage on Paradise Cove, this rare waterfront retreat is set along one of Vashon’s most sought-after sandy beaches. A peaceful escape tucked beneath towering cedars with open views of the sparkling sound, it offers the perfect balance of community and privacy. Unwind by the outdoor fireplace, take in breathtaking sunsets from the sleeping porch, and enjoy morning coffee on the deck. Thoughtfully restored with timeless charm, it features live-edge countertops, a classic farmhouse sink, warm fir floors, a heated bathroom floor, and ample storage. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Paradise Cove—where history, nature, and tranquility come together on Vashon's famed Westside.
