Washington is no stranger to impressive waterfront real estate. The latest to catch our eye is this three-bedroom, two-bath cottage in Coupeville, a town on Whidbey Island that’s the second oldest town in the state. The house is nestled in a park space above Penn Cove, an idyllic waterfront location with views to spare.

The 1,534-square-foot home was built in the historic craftsman style in 1860 and has since been updated with the addition of a master bedroom. Three different fireplaces add cozy charm no matter the weather, and the interior features exposed beams, well-placed windows, and timber walls.

A cute front garden adds curb appeal, while a deck provides panoramic views of Penn Cove, the Coupeville Wharf, and Mt. Baker. It’s a storybook house in an alluring location, the perfect retreat to getaway from it all.
