About this property

An extraordinary waterfront retreat. Rare no-bank waterfront offering in Normandy Park—one of the last remaining communities in King County where deeded access allows you to drive across the beach to your home from Des Moines Marina Park. Featuring approximately 90’ of Puget Sound shoreline plus deeded tidelands, this private Sound and mountain view property offers iconic sunsets and a truly unmatched coastal lifestyle. Buoy a boat all summer, drop crab pots, explore tide pools, or enjoy daily beach walks while watching local wildlife. This approx. 1,000 sq ft 1-bedroom residence with office is thoughtfully updated with new windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and a reimagined kitchen with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, double oven, and dishwasher. Updated bath. The inviting living area with electric fireplace adds warmth, while an oversized bay window frames sweeping water views. Enjoy deeded drive-on beach access, a private walk-in trail directly to the home, and a boat storage shed. Walk the shoreline to the Des Moines Saturday Market, Anthony’s, and nearby waterfront dining. A rare opportunity to embrace the adventure, serenity, and exclusivity of true Puget Sound beachfront living.
