9000 Kono Rd NE, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

There is a certain magic to Bainbridge Island’s south end; roads narrow, trees grow tall & life unfolds at a gentler pace. Tucked into 3.6 wooded acres among estate-sized properties, this custom Smallwood built home offers the feel of a private island retreat. Inspired by the great lodges of the Northwest, the home pairs soaring spaces w/ exceptional craftsmanship. Real Douglas Fir peeled poles frame the covered front porch, while vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, multiple fireplaces & floor-to-ceiling custom bookcases create a timeless sense of place. Formal & casual living & dining spaces flow into 2 spectacular great rooms, w/ a generous deck extending living spaces into the woodlands. 2 bedrooms are located on the main level, while upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a retreat of its own, w/ a private fireplace & luxurious 5-piece bath featuring a jetted tub & walk-in shower. The daylight lower level adds a finished rec room, bonus space & abundant interior storage. And then there is the setting! Explore the trails & beaches of Fort Ward & Blakely Harbor parks, stroll or bike to Lynwood Center & enjoy having Blakely Elementary close to home. W/ the bus line nearby & Winslow & the ferry just minutes away, this peaceful south-end retreat is wonderfully connected to all the island has to offer. A home w/ the soul of a NW lodge, the privacy of an estate, & the rare ability to make every day feel a little more quiet and peaceful.
