$1.725M Seattle beach house has eagles, seals as neighbors
Beach houses range from super funky to strikingly luxurious: 5427 Beach Drive SW is right in the middle of this spectrum.
Seemingly modest on the outside, this home is modern and spacious on the inside, and with the Puget Sound as a backyard, offers a unique Seattle living experience.
The 2400 square meter house was built in 1928 and extensively modernized over the course of its life. The vaulted ceilings and open floor plan frame huge windows that look out onto the beach. There is also a partially completed basement that could serve as a guest suite or Airbnb.
Listing agent Nick Pallis told the Seattle PI that the house is more than just a haven for the people who live in it.
“Beach living means the opportunity to see a variety of marine life. In fact, the current homeowner often speaks of an eagle who likes to hang out in front of the property. And interestingly enough, at one of our first buyers shows, the showroom broker was greeted by a giant sea lion loitering in front of the bulkhead of the house, “Pallis said.
If buyers want to get closer to these sea lions, they can take advantage of the offshore buoy that came with the property.
All of this can be yours for $ 1.725 million. Keep scrolling to take a tour.
