Property Description
Some homes offer a water view. At Water’s Edge, the water becomes part of your life—just 30± feet from shore. This extensively updated Holmes Harbor retreat rests on approximately one acre with 100± feet of low-bank waterfront and 10,000± sq ft of private tidelands. Nearly every room meets the water: morning light, changing tides and moonlight across the bay. Sip morning coffee to birdsong, search the beach for sea glass, launch a kayak, listen for seals calling from nearby docks, then share wine around the firepit as evening settles over the harbor. Inside, hand-hewn beams and a custom stainless-steel spiral staircase create unforgettable character. The main-level primary suite features a freestanding tub and curbless shower. Upstairs are a second ensuite, another bedroom and generous gathering space. Outdoors: an enclosed 60x20 enclosed catio/garden, shed, RV parking and no HOA. Make Water’s Edge your island second home: block out dates for memories and island adventures with family and friends, then offer it as a short-term rental on remaining dates to help offset ownership costs. Explore converting the upper level into a separate unit and/or adding a DADU up to 1,200± sq ft, subject to county approval; buyer to verify feasibility, configuration, permitting, utilities and septic requirements. Peacefully tucked beside sheltered Holmes Harbor, yet minutes from Freeland Park, shops and conveniences. Come for the waterfront. Stay for a life fully lived at Water’s Edge.
