About 5637 Beach Drive Sw
Rare opportunity on coveted Beach Drive SW for prime Puget Sound west-facing waterfront, on a low-bank multi-tiered bulkhead lot. Bring your contractor and your architect reimagine the existing home or build a custom waterfront retreat designed to maximize this extraordinary setting. Tucked behind a private courtyard entry from Beach Drive, the property opens to sweeping panoramic views from Vashon Island to Bainbridge Island and beyond, with a front-row seat watching the ferries in the distance. Abundant marine life and unforgettable sunsets make this property truly exceptional. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows frame the water from the main living spaces, while the shoreline patio invites true indoor-outdoor waterfront living just steps from the Sound. Existing 1-car garage and rare depth from street to water create exceptional flexibility for future vision and design. Enjoy the serenity of waterfront living with remarkably easy access to Alki Beach, the West Seattle Junction and downtown Seattle. Don’t miss this opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Seattle’s most iconic waterfront locations. Includes mooring buoy rights for your boat!
