About this property.

Welcome to the Madrona Tree Retreat, an architecturally distinctive home designed by renowned local architect Sean Bell, where artistry meets opportunity. This extraordinary Northwest Inspired home delivers one-of-a-kind design, breathtaking views, and proven income potential if desired. A thriving short-term rental, this property has a strong track record of bookings and guest reviews. Neighborhood amenities include a seasonal pool, beach access, playground and lake. Perched above Admiralty Inlet with views of the Olympic Mountains, this home captivates from the moment you arrive. Inside, soaring ceilings curve organically around Madrona tree trunks that rise through the heart of the home—a signature architectural statement carried throughout in hand-crafted woodwork, custom live-edge counters, and a dramatic multi-level staircase. The open main level flows seamlessly from a well-appointed kitchen to sun-drenched living and dining spaces, with oversized windows framing the natural beauty beyond. The loft primary suite offers a serene retreat complete with a clawfoot soaking tub, rain shower, and private workspace. The carriage house apartment provides additional flexibility—rent it separately for added revenue, or use for yourself or guests as an additional living space. Outdoor living shines with multiple patios, a fire pit, covered dining, and lush, mature landscaping. A truly rare offering: income-producing options, architecturally significant, and utterly unforgettable.
