Orca Haven ~ 2BR w/Scenic Views in Richmond Beach | Apartment in Shoreline
2 Bedroom Apartment in Richmond Beach, Shoreline
Summary:
Registered as a historic landmark in King County WA, this stunning ocean and mountain view unit is perfectly situated in the peaceful, quiet, and desirable neighborhood of Richmond Beach.
Relax and soak it all up outside from the oversized deck or inside looking out through extra-large picture windows of this cozy home away from home!!!
Enjoy blue herons and bald eagles flying overhead, orca whales dancing in the Puget Sound, the gorgeous mountain & water view, plus the breathtaking sunsets!
The Space:
Built in 1922, as a grocery store to service the Richmond Beach neighborhood, this property is one of a handful of buildings remaining from that time and the only registered historic property in the neighborhood.
This light-filled spacious apartment has two queen beds, two full baths, and a gourmet kitchen with a full-size oven, microwave, as well as refrigerator, and BBQ/tools for outdoor dining. It also includes fast Wi-Fi, though we don’t think you’ll need it with all the scenery around.
It is within easy walking distance to beaches, parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, corner stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. It’s also a short walk to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park (a local hidden gem). Hop in your car and it’s an easy drive to all the best the northwest has to offer such as hiking, sailing, climbing, etc.
Winter visits will also give you access to three ski resorts less than 3 hours away. Don’t feel like driving? The bus stop is less than a block away!
Orca Haven is surrounded by whales, orcas to be exact! Orcas are known to some Indigenous communities as the guardians of the sea. To some people, orcas represent the strength of love and the bonds of family because of their strong group behavior. The orca is a symbol associated with luck, compassion, and family.
Inspired by the ongoing survival of resident Salish Sea orcas, the Richmond Beach Community Association (RBCA) commissioned 22 artists from around the region to each create an orca whale sculpture for outdoor display. Each fiberglass whale measures 43 inches wide x 20 inches tall. The whales share their beauty from May through October each year when pods of 2 or 3 gather at various locations around the Richmond Beach community. We encourage you to find them all! In fact, there is a pod of 3 whales directly across the street from this unit.
Guest Access:
There are 16 stairs to reach the 2nd floor. Please be careful, the top step is not the same height as the rest.
Please park on the gravel lot west of the house.
