Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
A lovingly restored classic Mid-century Modern Waterfront home with JAW DROPPING VIEWS. The nearly 270 degree westside view spans Mt. Rainier, downtown Seattle, the Olympics, Port Townsend, and the San Juan islands. Sitting on nearly an acre with privacy so difficult to find, this home features a circular driveway, full length deck, master suite with its own private deck, a chef's kitchen with high end appliances, and close proximity to all that Whidbey Island has to offer.

The space
Our place feels like it's a world away, yet it's only a short 90 minute jaunt from Seattle. Located in the Olympic rain shadow, our winter days are warmer / dryer and summer days are cooler than Seattle.

The house has been a labor of love for our family as we have been carefully restoring / preserving it to its original 1960s mid-century modern vintage complete with modern finishes / creature comforts - all with a focus on reuse and sustainability.

Take in the views from the full size deck that extends the length of the house and is equipped with HAY Palissade deck chairs, a Solo Stove fire pit, a Sonos Move, alfresco dining setup, and a Pawleys Island cotton rope hammock - all capped by a spectacular PNW native Madrona tree.

The great room is replete with carefully curated mid century modern touches, a fully stocked chef's kitchen with high end appliances, a Nespresso machine, board games, a deep sectional couch, an Apple TV, a Sonos audio setup, amazon Alexas, and smart lighting controlled via the provided iPad.

The spa-like master bedroom ensuite has a medium firm foam mattress king size bed, Pendleton throws, a wall of closets, soft linen sheets, and opens to its own private deck. The Master Bedroom now has a brand new, METICULOUSLY REMODELED bathroom with a vanity, and DUAL SHOWERS. Be one of the first to experience it!

The second bathroom has a deep water tub, dual floating vanity, Hansgrohe fixtures all interspersed with subway and hex tile.

The green spaces on three sides of the property are perfect for bocce ball, frisbee, kicking a soccer ball around, badminton, or for using the outdoor ping pong table. Need a bigger playground - walk down the street to take steps to the beach.

Tesla (or other EV) owner? Our place has a Level 2 EV Charger for you to plug in.

We've obsessed over all the details! Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 different countries across 5 continents. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels, airbnbs, guests houses - and have drawn inspiration from all of them in getting our place ready for all of you to experience.

Guest access
You will have the entire place to yourself with the exception of the unfinished basement which we are currently using for storage.

Other things to note

Born in the 70s
My work: Enterpreneur
We have lived in Seattle for the past 25 years. Naureen has a background in real estate and Shehryar helps tech startups get off the ground. We left no stone unturned in our search for a second home and landed on the west side of Whidbey Island as the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle of city life with our now teenage sons (Adil & Mikaal) and a Labradoodle (Odie). After realizing we enjoy opening up our home to others and love being hosts, we expanded that concept to include a cabin in the Central Cascades that we use as an adventure base. Wanderlust has taken us to over 25 countries and 5 continents. All of this travel has allowed us to stay in hundreds of hotels and B&B’s and we have drawn inspiration from all of them for our own AirBnB properties.
