Elegant PNW Waterfront Beach House with Pickleball

Summary:
Welcome to Agate Beach House, the ultimate Pacific Northwest getaway.

Nestled in a private neighborhood on Agate Passage in Poulsbo, WA, this serene retreat is perfect for families and friends. Built in 1948 by the Schanno family’s grandfather, who fell in love with the area, it has been cherished for decades. His grandchildren recently rebuilt and thoughtfully designed the home to preserve their family’s legacy, creating a beautiful space for unforgettable gatherings by the water.

The Space:
This picturesque 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has a warm, elegant, beachy design aesthetic. It boasts amazing waterfront views and an easy-access, 8-step stairway to the beach.

Enjoy great beach walks, shell and crab hunting during low tide, and fun kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing at high tide. This home also features a spacious, beautifully landscaped yard, a very popular pickleball court, an outdoor fire pit, a BBQ area, and several outdoor spaces for lounging and playing. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, life preservers, pickleball paddles and balls, badminton, bocce ball, and cornhole sets are also available for guests.

Luxurious living & amenities:

This house accommodates up to 9 guests and offers ample space for everyone to unwind. It features a spacious great room with a gas fireplace, perfect for relaxing, and a fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances and cookware, including a gas range and a coffee and tea bar. Board games, card games, and fun vacation books are also available for guests, along with air conditioning and guest Wi-Fi.

There are 4 comfortable bedrooms, each featuring luxury linens, Smart TVs, and water views. The 3 bathrooms include tiled showers (one with a bathtub), along with luxury shampoos, towels, and hair dryers. Beautiful artwork is also showcased throughout the home, including a piece that will excite fans of the Twilight book and movie series based in Washington State.

Breathtaking views & wildlife:

The ambiance in this luxurious home transitions from “light and airy” during the day to “moody and intimate” at night. The covered outdoor deck features Adirondack chairs for enjoying the breathtaking views and diverse wildlife, including bald eagles, seals, otters, bunnies, deer, orcas, and various marine and bird species. On clear nights, you can admire the stars, the twinkling lights from homes across Agate Passage, and the peaceful moonlight reflecting on the water.

As previous guests have shared, this home is “majestic, magical, and in a storybook setting.” It’s also “immaculate and stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need and more. All you need to bring is food and clothes.”
