Perch - Island Hideaway in Historic Nature Reserve

Welcome to Island Hideaway–a slice of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and local history! Unwind in this peaceful 2 bed/1.5 bath home nestled in ~5 acres of forest. Freshly decorated, with walls of windows bringing the outside in, you will love this centrally located hideaway to explore the island. While the property is secluded and peaceful, it's centrally located, just 5 minutes drive to the historic waterfront shops and restaurants and 15 minutes to city conveniences.
r>Fun fact–this property was part of the original holding of one of the first settlers of Coupeville and had been in the previous owner's family for 5 generations. We hope to honor that history by sharing the acres of trees along with local touches with our guests. We are constantly curating and updating the home as we explore more ourselves.

The Island Hideaway is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, one level rambler, approximately 1500 sqft. Freshly decorated, look for local touches and island adventures ideas in the home! All rooms are on one level with a step-free path to entry. Each bedroom has a queen bed. The living room has a 3rd queen bed (pull out sofa bed). Please refer to the listing photo for a floor plan.
