A large granite- faced fireplace provides warmth and cheerful light in grey weather. The unusual soapstone countertops provide an air of durability, beauty, and permanence. Our favorite local craftsman cabinetmaker Neil Anthony provided the painted cabinets, finished perfectly to contrast with the striking walnut floors. A full Southeast facing deck provides plenty of comfortable recreation and entertainment space, with views in every direction. The generous master suite includes a marble bathroom and a light-filled office.

Downstairs are the guest bedrooms and bathrooms, a family room, a two-car garage, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar.

The owners are sure to have many years of pleasure from this gracious hillside home on Whidbey Island.
