Welcome to your private oasis on Bainbridge Island—an exquisite 6+ acre waterfront estate where luxury meets nature. Nestled along the serene Agate Pass shoreline, this property offers a blend of refined living and natural beauty. Its mature gardens were featured in Martha Stewart Living and registered with the Smithsonian Institution. With a main house, two guest houses, lush gardens, and abundant amenities, this property is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a legacy.
An Elegant Main House for Comfortable Living
At the heart of this estate is the beautifully updated 3-bedroom main house. Enter into a sunlit space with vaulted ceilings and large windows that frame sweeping views of Agate Pass.
The living area, filled with natural light from the northwesterly sun, offers a cozy yet spacious atmosphere, perfect for gatherings or relaxing. The chef’s kitchen, with marble countertops, a Viking range, double ovens, and a Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer, is ideal for everything from casual breakfasts to dinner parties.
The dining area, with floor-to-ceiling windows and solarium-style skylights, remains bright even on overcast days. The main-floor primary suite is a sanctuary with a Carrera marble bath, steam shower, heated floors, and a private deck with an outdoor marble shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms—one with a water-view balcony—share a full bath, while a spacious bonus room offers flexibility for an office or playroom.
The lower level includes a finished basement perfect for a wine cellar.
Charming Guest Accommodations
The estate offers two guest accommodations. On the east side, a one-bedroom guest house features new wide plank oak floors, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a renovated bath with marble and Lefroy Brooks fixtures. The kitchenette has black quartzite countertops, while a lofted bedroom with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves offers the choice between whimsical charm or a sophisticated home office. On the west side, a private guest suite by the water boasts exposed beam ceilings, shiplap walls, a new cedar deck, and a marble bath with a garden-view shower. Modern amenities, including a washer/dryer, ensure comfort without sacrificing rustic charm.
A Recreational Paradise
The grounds provide endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Start your day with a sauna near the water, a workout in the gym, or a game on your private pickleball court—a nod to Bainbridge Island’s heritage. Cool off in the heated garden pool or soak in the spa hot tub. Enjoy lunch in the walled garden, where heirloom apple trees and a gentle fountain create a serene backdrop. Nature enthusiasts will love exploring private forest trails, winding through towering cedars, grand maples, and lush ferns. Forage for oyster mushrooms or enjoy birdwatching around the willow-draped pond, where dragonflies dance over lily pads. Head to the shoreline for fishing, kayaking, or boating, with easy access from your boat launch and mooring buoy.
Enchanting Evenings and Unforgettable Memories
As the sun sets over Puget Sound, dine al fresco on the expansive deck and savor fresh oysters and your day’s catch of Dungeness crab. As stars emerge, gather around the fire pit for storytelling and stargazing. On special nights, watch for bioluminescence or the Northern Lights. End the day with a moonlit dip in the spa, soaking in tranquility.
