Among the first homes established in Blue Ridge, on the prime Olympic view lot, this beautiful 1931 Mediterranean style villa posts regally atop Blue Ridge hill, and overlooks sweeping views of Puget Sound, from Bainbridge, to Whidbey Island. A private, gated entry opens to a lushly landscaped oasis, with wrap-around grounds, mature palm and fruit trees, gravel paths, rose-covered fountains, and a musically inspired hedge maze.
This lovingly restored castle by the sea features stunning formals with arched porticos and cove ceilings, hardwood floors, period lighting, and walls of windows framing unobstructed views. The formal dining room opens to an inviting sun room, with French doors that beckon to the view terraces and gardens beyond.
The Tuscan-style gourmet kitchen has a granite island, copper counters, six-burner Viking stove, exposed wooden beams and custom cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a delightful, informal dining area, with attractive built-in shelving and cabinetry. A powder room completes the main level.
Dramatic, scrolled iron-work adorns the flight to the second floor landing, where a captivating sitting area awaits. An enchanting master, laundry closet, and three charming bedrooms adjoined by an adorable jack-n-jill bath, grace the second floor. The hopelessly romantic master bedroom features breathtaking Sound and mountain views, a walk-in closet and dressing room, gas fireplace, Neoclassical built-in bookcase, and vintage-style master bath. The lower level features a generous media room with built-in office area and custom cabinetry, a wet bar, new bath, laundry facility, and abundant storage. This home also hides a secret gem! A truly remarkable work of craftsmanship, this wood paneled, multi-purpose sanctuary, is both library and wine room, as well as an additional media space. Reminiscent of another era, this moody jewel box is a wonderfully unique, and unexpected place to relax.
Additional amenities include a two-car attached garage, security system, hot tub, radiant heated floors, wiring for sound both indoor and out, washers and dryers on top and bottom floors, and a circulating hot water system. The Blue Ridge community features private access to beach and play-fields, and optional membership to the clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis courts.
This stunning home is a must-see to be truly appreciated.
