Perched above Puget Sound, this distinctive Manchester retreat embraces its remarkable setting with stunning views of the Sound, islands, mountains, passing ferries, and soaring eagles. Walls of windows capture ever changing vistas from nearly every living space, while the expansive deck and upper balcony provide the perfect place to enjoy sunrises and spectacular Northwest skies. Full of character and warmth, the tri-level design offers a unique and inviting experience. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, breakfast nook, and newer appliances. Beautifully landscaped grounds create a private sanctuary with mature gardens, fruit trees, berry bushes, and peaceful outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Rich in local history, the property was home to the original South Colby School, offering a rare connection to the community's early heritage. Ideally located near waterfront parks, marinas, beaches, and the Southworth ferry service, including convenient fast-ferry access to downtown Seattle. Whether hosting gatherings with friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, each outdoor space offers its own unique perspective of the water and all the surrounding natural beauty. This is truly a special Pacific Northwest property where privacy, beauty, history, and lifestyle come together.
