This dramatic west-facing waterfront residence is an extraordinary find - one of the finest examples of legendary architectural firm Olson-Kundig’s iconic style. The clean & contemporary 2844 sq.ft. two bedroom, two bath residence is a wonderful combination of wood, concrete, glass, & steel. Understated yet sophisticated vaulted interiors were perfectly executed to maximize sweeping views of Haro Strait and the Olympic Mountains. Meander through Kundig designed gardens to the private and unique “False Bay Writer’s Cabin”, an engineering work of art. The 520 sq.ft. cabin was designed to serve as a private writer’s retreat & guest cottage. The 9.5+ acre property consists of two separate tax parcels. Ask your Broker for features list.
