About this home
Experience the best of Whidbey Island living in the sought-after Mutiny Sands community, known for its beautiful sugar-sand beaches, private beach access, and community pool. Situated on a rare double lot of nearly half an acre, this property offers exceptional outdoor space and privacy in one of South Whidbey's most desirable beach communities. Originally built as a unique teepee home and thoughtfully expanded over the years, this one-of-a-kind property blends its fascinating history with a more modern, comfortable living space. The home offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with updates throughout while maintaining its distinctive character. The detached two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into an artist studio complete with a ¾ bath, creating an ideal space for hobbies, a home office, guest overflow, or creative pursuits. If preferred, it could also be converted back to a traditional two-car garage. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or the perfect beach getaway, you'll appreciate the peaceful setting, generous lot size, and easy access to one of Whidbey Island's most coveted beaches. A pre-inspection has been completed for added peace of mind. To celebrate the home's unique history, a 1965 Pacific Northwest Lifestyle magazine article featuring the original teepee home is included in the supplements for buyers to enjoy.
