Why not have it all? Simple elegance, very 'spiffy' designer home, acreage, "west side" sunsets, water views of the shipping lanes, decks, dead end paved road, ground floor master suite, upstairs master suite, home office/den, extra bedroom, full kitchen with cherry cabinetry and pantry, sunroom, large clerestory living and dining with propane stove, hypoalergenic hardwood flooring, radiant heat, tiled bathrooms, Spa tub, oversize garage with storage shelving and shop, all appliances, utility barn/studio, easy care landscaping and storage... Do we have to go on?

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1635 square feet. The magnificent Olympics to the west and south - cool breezes in Summer, blustery in Winter. Wonderful views of Mt. Baker...and sunrises to the north and east, privacy year round. Dead end road - safe for children and pets.

How's this for the garden you don't ever tend? Acres of daffodils in Spring, pleasant bird-filled farmland the rest of the year. Pet friendly area. On Whidbey we call this - livin' high!

Get the picture? You are sipping morning coffee in the sunroom watching nature come awake... suddenly its almost noon. Need a change of views? Five public parks within five miles!

Another angle? Isn't this just "granny's farmhouse" in an elegant, modern version? Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, mosiac tile, master suites up and down...?

And 365 days a year - there's this. Your imagination can fill in when there are clouds. Featuring about 13-inches of rainfall per year; one-third of Seattle's! Small family? Live in relative? Terrific guest suite? Simple. Elegant. Immaculate. VA financing o.k.
