The Neighborhood
The Bainbridge Island water view home is located on the shores of Port Madison, a scenic bay and historic bay long enjoyed by boaters. There is no commercial development along its shores; instead there are elegant homes, parks, and two yacht clubs.
The West Port Madison area benefits from a number of nearby parks, including the famed Bloedel Reserve and the Port Madison Nature Preserve, and wonderful walks through woods and along beaches. The home’s location on the northern end of the island makes shopping convenient and places it almost equidistant between the Bainbridge/Seattle and the Kingston/Edmonds ferry routes.
The Skogen Lane neighborhood is a community of 26 houses. Skogen Lane is a long, quiet, single lane, dead-end road, ideal for bike riding and strolls. A wonderful sense of community brings the neighborhood together and offers a safe, open, and friendly environment. It’s a comfortable, warm place to call home.
The Lot -
Situated one lot back from the water, a 10’ easement through the neighboring property provides this home with direct water access to launch your kayaks, canoes, or dinghies. The owners keep their sailboat in the bay at a neighbors dock or at anchor and routinely access it from the easement.
At nearly ¾ of an acre, this level, sunny, South-facing water view lot is a rarity. Mature rhododendrons, handsome evergreens, bountiful fruit trees and tall Himalayan Birches populate the lot and give the home a perfect sense of place. Ample parking in the circular drive and 2-car garage make family living easy. A garden shed, painted to match the home, holds a riding mower and tools of the trade. There is a gated storage area beneath the covered front porch offering dry storage for lawn furniture, etc.

Bainbridge Island
Bainbridge Island is verdant island paradise located directly west of downtown Seattle, WA. It is a pleasant 35 minute ferry ride away from the hustle bustle, entertainment, and job opportunities of the Seattle area. Bainbridge Island is clean, quiet island living without isolation.

A community of approximately 20,000, Bainbridge Island has a quaint downtown area with perpendicular parking and a short walk from grocery store to post office, bank, and town playground. Coffee shops, antique stores, and restaurants round out the interesting stores on Winslow Way and three gas stations, a 6-plex cinema, library, gyms, and performing arts center make this more than a bedroom community of Seattle and a vibrant town in its own right.
