Welcome to this extraordinary waterfront retreat overlooking Agate Pass on the north end of Bainbridge Island, where the ever-changing beauty of Puget Sound becomes part of daily life. Wildlife sightings are a daily delight, from playful otters and harbor seals to bald eagles, with the occasional appearance of gray whales, orcas, and dolphins adding to the magic. Crafted by Japanese artisans, the home blends recycled post-and-beam construction with conventional framing, showcasing salvaged old-growth redwood collected over many years in Northern California. Inspired by a rural Japanese village, the architecture creates a timeless connection to the surrounding landscape. The home's defining feature is its seamless relationship with the water. Nine shoji-inspired glass doors span 36 feet across the main living area, sliding away to create an extraordinary indoor-outdoor experience and frame breathtaking views of Agate Pass. Every room enjoys sparkling water vistas, including private balconies off two upstairs bedrooms. The remodeled kitchen features Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, white oak cabinetry, a six-burner Wolf range, and integrated appliances. A Rumford fireplace and air conditioning provide year-round comfort. Expansive decks and a private clamming beach invite kayaking, paddleboarding, and unforgettable sunsets. Minutes from Winslow, Poulsbo, Kingston, and Seattle ferry service, this one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest sanctuary. Do not miss this home!
