Located on the waterfront near Langley, Washington on Whidbey Island, this home explores what it takes to be the perfect beach cottage. Just over 1,000 square feet, the cottage uses every space effectively to feel much larger than its tiny footprint. The expansive decks capture the surrounding waterfront vista, while the interior inglenook provides a great place to sit by the fire. Within the inglenook, built-in couches open to provide beds for guests. Upstairs, the master bedroom flows onto the upper deck and creates an excellent place to enjoy a cup of coffee. This home is comfortable for two and generously expands to welcome guests.
