Layout:
A. Bottom floor: Approximately 1,050 sf 2-bedroom MIL-ready apartment with huge full bath, washer/dryer hookups, and easily expandable mini kitchen. Many people are getting $120-$150 per night for similar setups on VRBO. Considering the floating dock, private beach, kayaks/ misc water toys, and hot tub, it could theoretically bring in over $3,000 per month. There is a heavy duty lockable door installed to section this part of the house off from the interior stairs to level 2 when being rented with the guests accessing the apartment from an exterior door in backyard.
B. Second floor: 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, walk-in closet, huge carpeted exercise room, Trex deck.
C. Third floor: Main entrance from driveway with granite counter kitchen combined with great room with a huge wall of windows and a large Trex deck with outstanding views. Has brand-new hardwood maple flooring.
D. Fourth floor: Huge master suite with 3 rooms, private covered balcony, and 5-piece master bath. Master has large walk-in closet. Up here you are looking down from nearly 50 feet high and feel very much like your in a treehouse in the canopy of several old growth Douglas fir trees. The view up here is probably the best on the entire bay. There is a heavy duty door at the entrance to this floor from the stairway for added privacy and quiet.
0.35 acre lot has 128' beach with very easy stair access. Most waterfront homes have only around 80-90 feet.
