Retraite Côtière Moderne Avec Une Vue Imprenable Sur Le Paysage Marin

Anchored atop a rocky bluff sits a striking modern home with views of Lopez Island’s Outer Bay, islands near and far, and the ever-changing waters of the Salish Sea. Stroll up the elevated ramp traversing a ravine and step into an airy space offering dramatic seascapes from every room. The home, designed by The Miller Hull Partnership with Patrick Byrne as lead, was conceived as a single open space that flows between public and private areas and transitions with simplicity into a quintessential San Juan landscape of mossy rocks surrounded by fir and madrone trees. The west-facing wall of windows brings natural light into every corner of the home, while the exposed wooden roof framing and fir trim soften the drama of the custom steel inverted king post trusses and concrete floors. The main bedroom has a private deck and a full bathroom. The second room on the main floor can be cleverly enclosed by pocket doors and is situated by a 3/4 bathroom, while the loft serves many purposes. Wolf, Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances outfit the kitchen, and a utility area is efficiently tucked into the back hallway. The garage contains ample storage closets and a mechanical room with a work space. Radiant heat, metal roof, ipe decks. A rustic A-frame cabin below the main house provides a perfect guest suite or studio, and a second, wooded tax parcel is also included. The property is just a stone’s throw of Iceberg Point trails, Agate Beach, and minutes from other south end attractions.
