Peter Point

Every once in a while, a truly unique estate offering enters the market, and one simply knows that its magic will not soon be offered again. It is precisely this feel that overcomes as you arrive at Peter Point on Vashon Island. Nestled upon 645 feet of private, western-facing waterfront, this nearly seven-acre property is ready for the imagination of its next steward, whether it’s creating a life in the turnkey residence or leveraging the opportunity to build your own legacy with a brand-new main home and guest cottage. Regardless of future plans, one thing is certain: you’ll be saying “hello” to striking sunsets and absolutely breathtaking views spanning Mt. Baker and the Colvos Passage.

The existing residence offers four bedrooms and two-and-a-quarter bathrooms set across 2,577 square feet of open living space that is as suited for daily living as it is for entertaining. An open concept living area with a cozy fireplace meets a spacious kitchen with views that add a spice of flavor to every meal. And with several existing bedrooms, it’s easy to accommodate overnight guests or convert rooms into flexible spaces to accommodate day-to-day needs—home office, anyone? If a new residence is in the making, the property has been zoned for two residences with plenty of room left over for recreation.

Not to be forgotten, the historic location was named for Peter Puget—of Puget Sound fame—by Captain Vancouver when they scouted the Northwest together. First settled in 1908, the original owners used the land to establish a daffodil farm. In 1968, the second and current owners took over—and with only two previous owners you can be sure this land is in superb condition.

Vashon Island: Quirky? Yes. Magical? Absolutely! Stop Lights? Zero. Vashon is truly a little slice of heaven with a marina, nine-hole golf course, small airport, top-notch schools, and fantastic community-based Center for the Arts. It’s hard to find a spirit of place that feels a million miles away from it all, yet is just a 20-minute passenger ferry to downtown Seattle with a real change of pace from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
