SOLD | Ludlow Waterfront, $1,375,000
Welcome to the Waterfront
Leave the city behind and enter another world where serenity, the beauty of nature and a home of this caliber make sheltering-in a magnificent experience.
A multi-acre playground of nature with 252' of seemingly endless sandy beach. A hike down the trail to the beach and frequent sightings of otters, seals and eagles will calm thoughts and invigorate the senses. Kayak into the surf and glide along the shore, creating your own wake as you paddle down the coastline. Delight the home chef with a fresh catch of seafood from the beach for a spectacular meal on the covered deck off the kitchen.
Step inside the front entrance to an entertainment-size great room open to the dining area and upscale kitchen. Tall ceilings with exposed beams lend a sophisticated yet casual feel, designed to enjoy full views across the canal, a backdrop of mountains and a portion of Whidbey Island. The main level has most everything needed for every day living and is wheelchair accessible. Relax by the grand, floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a steaming mug of coffee and marvel at the sunrise. Richly detailed built-in bookshelves to showcase art and book collections. Reclaimed wide plank wood flooring in the great room and dining areas. Durable slate tile flows through the entry, kitchen, office, powder room and pantry.
The views of the great room continue in the dining area and kitchen. Beautiful and abundant, the handmade cherry cabinetry merge with the modern surface of sleek concrete countertops, an island unites a sink area with a glass surface bar and a conveniently located round cutting board. A second sink is nearby for help with food prep. Doggy doors glide to a closed position for containing the four-legged member of the household, when needed. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large, walk-in pantry with additional storage shelves and cabinetry featuring a dog sink mounted to the wall for easy bathing.
The sumptuous master suite is situated to the right of the great room and has the distinct feel of an indulgent high-quality resort and feature the same soothing views of the great room. The centerpiece of the master bath is a heated concrete vessel tub which was handcrafted locally and highlighted by a backdrop of glass tile. The tub is flanked by an oversize tile shower and a commode. Concrete countertops with convenient dual cabinets and sinks. Unusual twin peacock windows were a delightful find and add a lovely dimension of rich yet subtle color to this light and bright space. Bathers will appreciate stepping onto the heated stone tile floor. Large walk-in closet with high function design and lighting. Sleep deeply on the floating bed with a focus toward the view windows. Built-in shelving houses bedside items within a short reach. A single French door leads to a private deck and a ramp providing wheelchair access to the main floor.
The lower level offers large, added ceiling height, open spaces comprised of two family-room areas, a wet bar, office, two additional bedrooms and an atrium with an endless pool. Step outside the atrium through a single French door and slip into the hot tub for a restful place to relish the views, lovely gardens, and magnificent evergreens. The lower level is serviced by a full bath fit for a spa experience. A second handcrafted, heated concrete tub, adorned by a concrete wall sculpture that reflects the natural setting of the property. Separate shower and separate commode.
Find your way onto the wrap-around deck for sweeping views. Overlook the grounds and top portion of the beach trail, Bocce Ball court, and fireside circle. Head down to the mid-point viewing deck with a delightful book, watch the boating activity, take in views of Mount Baker, or enjoy a pleasurable nap.
Striving toward environmental stewardship, 40% of the construction materials are reclaimed. Stone flooring, cherry cabinetry, concrete surfaces and reclaimed maple speak of the designer’s intent to showcase the natural beauty of the Northwest while providing a solid structure built for longevity.
Kayak to the Port Ludlow Inn and Marina for a cocktail and romantic dinner on the deck or in the lovely dining room. The Inn is an incredibly special place for an overnight stay when guests are in town.
