Retirement with a View

Waterfront bluff development poses some challenges with setbacks from the bluff and street reducing the buildable area within the property lines. Designing from the ground up, all wants and needs (a football room, study, built-ins and extra storage) fit into the home that is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the property. Estes managed the delicate bluff development and permitting, making color selection the hardest part of the project for the clients. Hear from the clients themselves.

Elevator, Large Open Living Area, Football Room

It’s a common dream of retirees to spend their mornings and evenings enjoying a spectacular water view. This bluff lot in Port Angeles has the perfect vista overlooking a 180° view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Vancouver Island and the San Juan Islands. But building on a bluff on a long and narrow half acre parcel can prove challenging.

This carefully positioned and planned three bedroom, three bathroom craftsman fits it all including a study, dedicated “football room”, large master suite with an extra deep soaking tub and large flush entry shower, a spacious kitchen and vaulted ceilings in the great room, with an open staircase and even an elevator.
