About this home
Wake at the Water’s Edge as morning sunlight sparkles across Holmes Harbor and the ever-changing tides unfold. Positioned about 30 feet from shore, this extensively updated home offers an unusually immersive connection to the water. Life isn’t measured by the things we own, but by the moments we share. Explore tide pools, search for shells and sea glass, kayak quiet waters, fish, swim, harvest shellfish from your own tidelands. As evening settles in, gather around a beach fire, linger beneath the stars, and listen to the water. Set on approx. 1 acre with 100± feet of low-bank saltwater frontage and 10,000± sq ft of private tidelands, Water’s Edge offers rare privacy, protected harbor waters, and convenience minutes from Freeland. Expansive water views fill virtually every room. Open living spaces, hand-hewn beams, and a custom stainless-steel spiral staircase add warmth and character. The main-level primary suite offers a freestanding tub and curbless shower; upstairs, a second ensuite features a showpiece bath, plus an additional bedroom and flexible gathering space. Enclosed 60x20 catio/garden, shed, RV parking, generator wiring, EV charging, and ample parking. No HOA; short-term rentals permitted. Potential DADU up to 1,200± sq ft—buyer to verify. Living on the waterfront changes how you spend your days. Trade screen time for tide pools, sunsets, and stories around a beach fire. The greatest luxury isn’t owning waterfront—it’s living it. Don’t wait for someday.
