A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself on Bainbridge Island in this Napa Farmhouse-inspired estate with a distinctive Pacific Northwest palette. Privately sited and embraced by nature, this incomparable estate is nestled on 5.33 private acres between Fort Ward and Blakely Harbor. The result of a collaboration between Katz/Townsend Architecture and Jefferson Fine Home Builders, this exquisite residence was built in 2008 with the utmost attention to detail.
Open the door to a great hall with soaring ceilings, flanked by the home’s two wings. To the west, a tranquil primary suite affords walls of windows oriented with southern exposure to take in views of the gardens and pool. A spa-inspired bathroom is a retreat, with a steam shower, deep soaking cast-iron tub, pocket door, and built-in speakers, while the walk-in closet is primed for all belongings with custom built-ins and vanity, plus a convenient stacking Miele washer and dryer. There is one additional main level bedroom in the west wing, with an ensuite bath. Steel I-beam and fir wood stairs lead to the second level, complete with another bedroom, an office, and a three-quarter bath. Moving to the east wing, one encounters two ensuite guest quarters, an office, mudroom, laundry, and powder room.
At the heart of the home, an Epicurean kitchen is ready for even the most ambitious culinary endeavors with two islands, a high-end appliance package, toe kick vacuum system, built-in storage, and a walk-in pantry with custom built-ins and two SubZero refrigerator drawers. The sommelier will revel in a locking wine room with a capacity for up to 1,000 bottles and guests will enjoy a spacious entertaining room. Large walls of glass open to erase the boundary between indoors and out. Sunshine-filled days come to life with a saltwater pool, firepit, and outdoor kitchen with a built-in Wolf BBQ.
Boundless spaces continue in a bonus room over the garage with a wet bar, a built-in TV for game day, and a three-quarter bath. The guest house offers the same level of meticulous attention to detail, with flexible space on the main floor, a three-quarter bath, an upper living space, and a one-car garage.
The epitome of island living, this estate almost gives one the sense of a year-round vacation—a sanctuary of superlatives and architectural achievement beyond compare. All this in a fantastic Bainbridge Island location with unmatched privacy, security, and independence. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a visit will leave you breathless.
