A classic 1960s mid-century on Marine View Drive, original throughout and offered as-is "” a chance to take a true post-and-beam home and make it your own. The architecture is the draw: deep exposed beams, tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings that carry from inside to the covered deck, and walls of glass that pull a panoramic north-facing Puget Sound view straight into the main living space. The water runs the length of the view "” Des Moines and the marina, the wooded point of Three Tree Point, and West Seattle in the far distance "” visible from the great room, the dining room, and the deck beyond.Inside, the original character is intact. A floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace anchors the great room, where open-beam ceilings and a wall of view glass set the tone. The dining room sits at the corner of the glass, the kitchen opens to the main level, and a stone-and-cedar entry with an open stair connects the two floors. Period details run throughout "” wood cabinetry, original baths, mid-century lines that are increasingly hard to find unaltered.Outside, a full-width covered deck stretches across the water side, built for taking in the Sound in any weather. There's a carport and a separate two-car garage. Community gated beach access is available for a small yearly fee, putting the shoreline within reach. A solid mid-century with a rare north-facing Sound view, ready for its next chapter "” minutes to the Des Moines Marina and quick to I-5, SR-509, and Sea-Tac.
