About this home
Sweeping views of Blake Island, Mt. Rainier, and the Seattle skyline set the stage for this exceptional Manchester waterfront retreat—once home to noted local author Walt Morey. With 121 feet of no-bank shoreline, enjoy true walk-out waterfront living where the beach is your backyard. Watch wildlife, ferries glide by, and sunrises paint the sky from your expansive deck. Inside, the sun-drenched living room features a gas fireplace and walls of windows framing ever-changing water views like living art. The seamless indoor-outdoor connection makes everyday living and entertaining unforgettable. Also on the main floor: a large bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom. Upstairs, the serene primary suite and two additional bedrooms capture breathtaking Sound views, creating peaceful spaces to unwind. The fully finished lower level offers a bonus room, ¾ bath, and additional washer/dryer hookup—ideal for guests, recreation, work-from-home, or multi-generational potential. Rarely does a waterfront home combine history, shoreline, and views so effortlessly. Come experience the sights, sounds, and serenity in person—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

MVLR
Manchester Village Low Residential Zone
The May 7, 1998, Comprehensive Plan stated that the county could use limited areas of more intense rural developments (LAMIRDs) to reconcile historical land development patterns, and Manchester was identified as a candidate for this designation. As result of a public planning effort, the Manchester Community Plan was initially developed in 2002, setting specialized goals and policies for the Manchester village. This subchapter establishes development regulations to implement these goals and policies. In addition to these regulations, the policies and goals of the Manchester Community Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and application within the Manchester LAMIRD must also be able to demonstrate compliance with the Manchester Community Plan. In the event of a conflict between the requirements of these regulations for the Manchester rural village and any other statute, rule, ordinance or regulation, the more restrictive requirement shall govern.
