This quintessential Maxwelton Valley, one-owner home on 5.78 +/- acres adjacent to The Whidbey Institute's 106-acre conservation forest, with trails, is ready for its next steward. Perched on a sunny hilltop, at the end of a private road and surrounded by lush forest, gardens and mature landscape, this home was lovingly built and remodeled over the years with exquisite craftsmanship and a strong connection to nature. The woodworkmanship throughout this home is impeccable. Whether lounging on the cedar deck in the summer sunshine or cozying up inside on a crisp autumn evening, there is a deep sense of warmth that lives year-round with this one. Recent updates include a ductless heat pump & solar panels. Welcome to Whidbey! Welcome Home!
