Langley, WA on beautiful Whidbey Island
On a quiet, private lane in Langley on Whidbey Island WA, this special home is one of only three in an intimate 'pocket' backyard cottage community.
Stunning, mature gardens surround the main, single-level two-bedroom cottage home with its own separate and charming backyard cottage and barn-like garage on the same 7246 square foot parcel.
Developed & constructed in 2000 by The Cottage Company and designed by Ross Chapin, this home is offered by its original owners. Fine craftsmanship, thoughtful attention to detail and durable materials are emphasized in the lovingly cared for 1200 square foot, two bedroom home and its 425 square foot backyard cottage complete with kitchen, full bath, living space and bedroom.
The main, single-level home features light-filled, ten foot, vaulted spaces, extensive built-in bookshelves throughout with front dutch door leading to a room-sized covered front porch and rear door opening onto a paved backyard patio. The custom-designed kitchen with clerestory window has a dining alcove, handpainted custom cabinetry and gleaming tiled countertops. Ample storage is provided by pull-down attic stairs in the main home and also in the detached garage.
The fully independent backyard cottage enjoys a spacious, light-filled main room with living, dining and kitchen plus separate bedroom and full bath with laundry. Providing a multi-generational living option, the cottage is perfect for home-office, guests, grown children, caregiver or rental.
The two dwellings are linked by a beautiful, fragrant, collector's garden creating a jewel-like setting in this pocket neighborhood. Intimate garden spaces are linked with Pennsylvania blue stone paths and patios.
The garden was designed and planted by the owner, an ardent horticulturist. The gardens and home have been featured in the Seattle Times and Sunset Magazine, and are winners of Sunset's AIA Western Home Award. Custom-drawn, architectural plans are available for a possible second story addition to the home.
Walk four blocks to Langley, the island's 'village by the sea' for art galleries, bookstores, restaurants, coffee houses, wine tasting shops, a pub, food and mercantile stores, two performing arts theaters, a historic movie theater, library, inns, marina, parks and more! Annual events in the village include the Whidbey Island fair, parades, the Choochokam Street Festival and Soup Box Derby. During the summer, an outdoor farmers and artisans market is held on Friday afternoon and Saturday farmers market held in nearby Bayview.
