Historic Bainbridge Island Estate Fully Furnished 5BR Home with Apartment, Gardens & Charm
Step into a beautifully restored piece of Bainbridge Island history. Built in 1912 and once home to the island's first movie theater and Oddfellows Hall, this one-of-a-kind estate blends timeless character with modern comfort across three thoughtfully designed floors. With 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and nearly 5,000 square feet of fully furnished living space, this rare rental opportunity offers the ideal retreat for those seeking elegance, privacy, and a deep sense of place.
Inside the main home, original charm meets modern updates: bamboo flooring, five cozy gas fireplaces, and even a hidden bedroom tucked behind a whimsical bookshelf door. The interiors have been recently refreshed with new appliances, updated systems, and tasteful, stylish furnishings that merge historical warmth with contemporary aesthetics. The kitchen is fully equipped, and two separate laundry rooms one on each floor add convenience for families or shared living. A beautiful antique bar makes entertaining a joy, while large rooms and a lofted kids' nook offer versatility and space for play, work, or relaxation.
The attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment features a full kitchen and private entrance. It is currently occupied by the homeowner's father, affectionately known as "Grandpa Dude" a friendly and respectful retired dentist who helps care for the property and gardens. Known in the community for his warm spirit, he's a quiet and welcome presence on the land.
Set on 1.4 lush acres, the grounds are professionally maintained and bursting with beauty. A fully gated yard keeps children and pets safe, and an English-style garden with a fountain, orchard, and flowering trees invite peaceful walks or playful afternoons. A large, level grassy field is ideal for games, parties, or even a backyard wedding. Several decks and outdoor spaces offer places to read, relax, or entertain one nestled in a wooded grove for a magical "camp out at home" experience. Garden lovers will appreciate the fenced garden space ready for planting.
The home includes ample parking, a storage garage, and an extra driveway perfect for guests. Pest control and landscaping are included in the rent.
Located just 10 minutes from the ferry terminal, the home is within walking distance of Lynwood Center's beloved cafes, shops, restaurants, and the historic Lynwood Theater. Nearby Lytle Beach offers saltwater access, beachcombing, and breathtaking sunsets over Puget Sound. Schools and parks are just minutes away in this quiet, close-knit neighborhood.
