Seattle Waterfront Real Estate Tour: 2657 Perkins Ln W, Seattle WA 98199
Views For Miles and Expansive Waterfront in West Magnolia
While there are a wide variety of waterfront properties in the greater Seattle area, there are a select few pieces of real estate with a true, deep saltwater beach with walkable access. This home on Magnolia's Western shore is just that kind of property, about as close to oceanfront real estate as you can find in Seattle.
This three story house on Perkins Lane is a 1920s-built beach home with plenty of interior space. The 2600 sq ft structure has five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and carries a rustic beach feel. Every level of the home has glass doors, patios, and entertaining decks facing West toward Puget Sound.
Entering the property down a cozy private drive to a double carport, you're greeted by well-manicured grounds leading down to the home. The views start from the moment you step onto the lot, and are evident from virtually anywhere on the property. The moderate slope allows for plenty of privacy from all levels of the lot, and a comfortable hike all the way down to the beach.
Sitting just up off the beach is a huge entertaining deck with a full-size brick fireplace, creating a spectacular viewing platform that can be used year-round. When the tide is out, you can walk the beach all the way to Magnolia's Discovery Park. The shore is covered in well-worn rock, sand, and driftwood, with an occasional tidepool scattered along your path.
The impression you feel as you tour this home is that the builder was keenly focused on views and access to the outdoors. Every room seems to lead to an outdoor living space, whether on the view decks or the protected garden space behind the home. The design of the house is perfect for entertaining guests for a vacation weekend. Currently listed at $1.1 million, it's on the low end of waterfront Magnolia real estate. When the new owners add their design touches, they'll enjoy an exceptional piece of waterfront with some of the best views on Puget Sound.
