2612 fisherman bay

This historic farm cottage offers a panoramic west-facing view of Lopez Island’s Fisherman Bay, stretching from the Olympics to Upright Channel and the islands beyond, on 135 ft of low bank waterfront. Gather around the shoreside fire pit and launch paddle boards & kayaks from your private beach. Take in the golden hour, the birds, and the passing boats from the main house’s sunny dining/kitchen area and decks. Built upon an island stone foundation over a century ago and remodeled several times, the house also features two bedrooms, two ¾ bathrooms, a living area w/gas fireplace, an upstairs accessed by a bent spruce spiral staircase (don't miss the cubby & observation deck), and an unusual basement/cellar now serving as a laundry/mechanical room and storage. The detached two car garage is a more recent addition. The light-filled loft studio above the garage, with its charming port window, consists of an open living/sleeping area, plus a ¾ bathroom, kitchenette, and its own elevated deck--prime seating for the island's spectacular 4th of July fireworks. The established garden is partially enclosed, with an English walnut gracing the entrance to the covered porch, and flowering shrubs and perennial bulbs that will delight throughout the seasons. The property is conveniently located 4.6 miles from the ferry landing, 0.7 miles to Lopez Village, 2 miles to the beach at Otis Perkins Day Park, and minutes to marinas and restaurants on the bay. Private well, 5 bedroom septic system.
