460 Harrison St

This property has been in my family for close to a hundred years. The view is extraordinary, majestic, compelling. Seals, sea birds, and waterfowl can be viewed just a few yards away, out the windows or from the deck. An eagle's nest is located just a half mile away on Browns Island. You can usually see one every day if you're looking for them. Orca whales transit nearby at all times of the year. Sometimes right in the harbor. My grandparents had the foresight to build the house in the best location on the bay. It's protected from the prevailing SE, S, and southwestly winds. The view of Mt Baker is phenomenal. See it from the deck or out the kitchen window when you're doing the dishes. It's really nice from the upstairs bedrooms. This property is really close to the water. I can throw a rock from the deck and hit the water. At least I could before the houses were built below me. This lot is big for town standards at a lot and a half. I'm in the process of dividing it into two pieces, but I'd rather sell the whole property as is. The house needs work but is functional as is. My idea is to sell the property as is, with the intention of selling to a buyer that will understand that i reside here, and that it's going to take some time to get my personal property out of here and find a new place to live. This house has an apartment in the basement with its own entryway, with a bathroom and shower. This property is close to town (walking distance), very safe (literally no crime), never a problem with flooding, landslides, or wildfires. You can sleep with your windows open at night. There are very few insects, mosquitoes, or other bothersome pests. Sit on the deck in the spring, summer, and fall. Watch the activity in the harbor. This property is special. My grandparents chose this location for a reason. It's the best on the bay! Whoever buys it will realize after they've lived here for a while, that they made the best decision of their lives.
