The home is immaculately clean, with new paint inside and out, new ceramic tile flooring and beautiful laminate flooring in much of it. Three sources of heat to choose from - Electric baseboard, propane stove, woodstove.  Cathedral ceilings, front and rear decks, inside laundry, large fenced backyard ready for gardener's, plenty of RV/Boat parking.  Large lot has room for home expansion if desired.  This is a well built and designed home, on a foundation with unusually tall crawlspace, and the property would serve very well as either a great full time residence, retirement home, or second home get-away.     

The home is in good condition, 'turn key ready' to be lived in and enjoyed by a new owner.

        Some facts about Us --                

    * We are not agents, but private sellers, selling our 1st home here on the island. * We lived in the home we have for sale for 6 years, and 
       were very happy there. * We have lived as full time residents on Herron Island for almost 10 years. * Unlike some having homes for sale 
       on the island, our home for sale is not the result of a 'house flipping' or speculation venture. It is simply our offering for sale our first home 
       here, since we have moved to another place on the island that we have 'downsized' too.

                                  

                              

It would cost between $250,000. to over $280,000. to build this home today on the Island.

 

           More About the Island ...    Quiet -- Safe -- Beautiful -- Serene.... Real Rarities these days

Herron Island is a small private Island in the South Puget Sound in Washington state. Herron Island is owned by approximately 400 property owners. Some owners live on the island full time. Others use their homes/property here for get-aways/vacations, and/or with plans for retirement. Along with Washingtonian's, people from various other states have discovered Herron Island as an opportunity to own an increasingly rare, yet unbelievably affordable, get-away retreat from the fast paced (and unhealthy) stress of so many other places.  From part-timers to full timers including families and retirees, this is a paradise for virtually everyone.    

 

 

The number of full timer's has been increasing in recent years because of the growing importance to people in the advantages of living on the island over typical Mainland living.  It is truly a unique and beautiful piece of the Northwest.  The island is 1.25 miles long, and 1/2 mile across. The Island community has its own private ferry, and the fun ferry ride from mainland to Island is approx. 12 minutes.  The Island offers public beaches, parks, and wildlife abounds.  Hand feed the deer, and watch the eagles soar here.  Swimming, fishing, boating, fun community events, and a safe and peaceful atmosphere are just some of the things that the islanders enjoy.  

 

 

Herron Island is one of the few privately-owned islands in the Puget Sound.  Island property owner’s security and privacy is protected by the requirement of a signed guest pass for non-islanders to board the ferry and to come to the island. Crime is almost nonexistent, and many call the island “the ultimate gated community”.  Another saying is “Herron Island is the best kept secret of the Puget Sound”. 

 

 

 

 

In recent years, the Island has begun to transform itself from cabins and get-aways of old, to newer homes including some at the very high end.  It is entirely possible there will come a day when property here only changes hands through family inheritance.  Tacoma is about 30 minutes away, Seattle about an hour or a little more depending on time of day.

Buyers - If you only go to depend on agents for H.Island property, you won't see the very best home deal - This one.  

Like hundreds of thousands of others, we ourselves bought our current island home from a Seller directly, with no agents involved, and the whole process was straightforward and went without a hitch.  Not to mention our having saved thousands of dollars from agents/brokers commissions being tacked into the purchase price.
