Sunset Beach Paradise House
Sunset Beach Paradise is located on Vashon Island, on Puget Sound, in the small private beachfront community of Sylvan Beach. Just a short 15 minute ferry boat ride from Seattle, and a 10 minute ferry boat ride from Tacoma. The house is only 1.7 miles from the North end ferry dock which takes you to Seattle.
It is a wonderful Northwest contemporary waterfront beach home built in 1975, with western exposure, zero bank, a 180° view of Colvos Passage and a sandy, flat beach.
The house is built on four levels that includes a basement, a main level, a middle level 'bonus room', and a top level master bedroom. The main level consists of a combination living room/kitchen, full bathroom and a large closet. The basement consists of two small rooms, one with a double bunk bed, and the other room with a double bed. The basement level usually is locked out but can be available by request. There is plenty of beds/bedrooms for four people on the other levels. The middle level consists of a sitting room, and just off this room are two smaller bedrooms, one with a double bunk bed and the other with a double bed. The large master bedroom has a king size bed and a very nice bathroom with an oversized shower and double sinks. Most all of the furniture throughout the house is built-in.
Everything you need is here in our clean and comfortable beach home. There is a freestanding gas fireplace, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer, a BBQ, dishes, bedding, towels, 50" Roku TV, VCR, DVD and complimentary wireless internet. Bring your boat since we do have a mooring buoy for the house.
Enjoy beach walking, fishing, boating, watching blue herons fish, and eagles soar. Listen to the lapping of the waves, see the sunset behind the Olympic Mountains and the moon reflecting on the water. It is a feast for the senses. Sit back, relax, enjoy!
I would also like to mention that our home is considered a walk-in which is not unusual for Vashon Island. What this means is that you can drive down the Sylvan Beach road to the water's edge. The house is located on the south walk, about a 200' flat, predominantly, cement walk. We have two wheelbarrows to bring anything in. Once you unload you park your car about 100' up the road. There are some waterfront homes on the island that you can drive to, but then have to walk/bring your things down 125 stairs. We like our situation better. It really is not a big deal. We have had a lady in her nineties visit many times.
Don't forget to bring an old pair of shoes for beach walking.
