About this property

Rooted in Island history and built for today’s modern living, this 2016 construction waterfront home was designed by Seri Yeckel and built by Wing Point Construction to emulate the original home that occupied this landmark property, the historic Furuya Resort House circa 1905. Extreme care was executed in the re-build to keep the original vintage charm of the exterior but fold in the conveniences of today. Seattle businessman, Masajiro Furuya, hand selected this site for his Resort House known locally as the ‘Grand Dame’ because of the warm Crystal Springs micro-climate for his extensive gardens, the sheltered site for the home and the gently sloping lawn down to the waterfront for easy access to the beach. Inside, the current home has a vaulted Great Room with multiple 8-foot fir doors that open out onto the covered wrap-around veranda, effortlessly expanding your living areas outdoors to enjoy the serene waterfront views. Architectural details like expansive arched picture windows, and a series of graceful arches front the lower level colonnade. Easy main level living with the primary bedroom on the main floor. Two more generously sized en-suite bedrooms are on the lower level, plus a home office or family room. The .48 acre property has 100 feet of low bank waterfront with easy steps to the beach, mature landscaping, ample lawn space, a tranquil pond and a showpiece historic beach deck perched above the shores of the sound. A rare island offering.
