If this home had a middle name it would be FUN and it’s obvious from the moment you arrive. The porthole windows and vibrant blue shingles have a strong coastal vibe, and that tracks because you’re a ½ mile from the Vashon Ferry, Breakwater Marina and Dune Peninsula. Point Defiance Park, Antique Sandwich Co., Macaluso’s and Wren’s Nest Bakery are all within blocks. On the main floor, you’ll find a spacious primary suite plus a renovated kitchen & utility / laundry closet. Upstairs is an open, loft style bedroom and ¾ bath. A long list of improvements include a new gas furnace, carpet and fully fenced backyard (just in 2026). There’s a newer tankless water heater (2024), plus the roof, windows, electrical and plumbing have all been upgraded as well. If you love to adventure but need more space for your gear, check out the oversized 696 sq ft one-car garage + shop. This space could work for hobbies, storage a studio – or perhaps future conversion into a DADU? The gated parking area offers more off-street parking for a boat or trailer. It’s no wonder this home had such success as a vacation rental; ask for more details and the income history for “Point Defiance Palms.”
