About this property.

Low-Bank Waterfront Living | Calm Waters of Holmes Harbor From morning light across the harbor to quiet evenings by the shore, life here naturally centers around the water. Positioned approximately 20–30 feet from the shoreline, the home offers a uniquely close connection to the harbor and its ever-changing tides. Expansive windows bring in light, sky, and water, creating an open, airy feel throughout. Enjoy water views from the living and dining areas, kitchen, bedrooms, and upstairs spaces, with the shoreline as part of daily life from morning to night. Set on approximately 1 acre with 101± feet of low-bank frontage and 10,000± sq ft of private tidelands, the property offers a rare opportunity for an immersive shoreline lifestyle. Holmes Harbor is known for more protected, generally calmer waters than many other waterfront settings around the island—ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and a range of saltwater recreation. Nearby public boat launch adds to the appeal. Thoughtfully updated with a bright coastal style, the home features a main-level primary suite with a modern bath and curbless shower, additional bedrooms upstairs, and flexible living space for everyday comfort or hosting. The enclosed 60x20 garden area includes covered and open spaces, raised beds, and versatility for gardening or pets. No HOA. Potential for a DADU up to 1,200± sq ft (buyer to verify). Short-term rentals allowed. Close to downtown Freeland and Freeland Park.
