3508 W 8th ST Anacortes, WA 98221

Start your day with a scenic hike just two minutes from your front door, connecting you to over 50 miles of trails in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. Then a morning dip in Little Cranberry Lake, & spend the afternoon sailing through the local channels of the San Juan Islands. And then go home to the view deck! The epitome of the Anacortes lifestyle—nature, views, and adventure all in one day. Sitting high on a hill bordering hundreds of acres of Anacortes Community Forestlands, this 3-bed, 1,932 sqft home captures a direct view of Cypress Head and its dramatic isthmus, as well Guemes, Blakely Islands & other islands. On clear days, see snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Coast Mountains. True main-floor living: bamboo-floored great room with those views, a serene primary bedroom, dining & kitchen—all open to a floating deck for watching year-round boat traffic & sunset evenings. Lower level has 2 additional bedrooms, a bath, a second deck with sauna, and two "flex" spaces: family room, home office, gym, art studio. Recent upgrades: new furnace, hot water heater, & most appliances. 2-car garage has space for hobbies, gear, workshop & has windows & a view. Very quiet, secluded street: dead-end and no houses on the forested side. Low-maintenance yard! Yard below is left to nature. Minutes to downtown Old Town, with shops, waterfront dining & parks, marinas, plus the beaches & boat launch at Washington Park.
