Heat Wave in Hood Canal and Case Inlet

Kristian Schonberg: Real Estate Agent in Allyn, WA

Yesterday and today, with temperatures reaching into the 90s around here, we have enjoyed swimming to cool down in both the lakes and the saltwater. Late yesteday afternoon, I drove my 2 sons to Stretch Island to beach comb and swim and noticed hundreds of seals on the north side chasing anchovies. With the spectacular Olympic Mountains, Mt. Rainier, and surrrounded by water, this area is the best in the world! We watched an eagle dive down to the water to catch a fish as we swam. We have great deals on this kind of property.

Wordless Wednesday...

Dinah Visits with a Heron on the IslandAbove the creaking bridge a car rumbles and then stops.

The day is bright and full of wonder. The fading blue horizon tosses puffs of white to and fro.

The Heron waits. Today is a mystery only known by times told tale. The waters fill the bare pebbled beach. Birds fly and call out as if to catch the sun before she leaves.

The night sparkles awake as the moon hangs low to listen to the day as it shares the secrets of a world only known to those without words ... the fishing Heron .

Simple Saturday...

Dinah looks out from Treasure IslandClouds dot the blue sky and hover above the quiet waters.

Treasure Island Stands by as the waves rock the boats at the Fair Harbor Marina.

What will today bring? Many love to visit here and are likely to fill the air with laughter and aromas from the BBQ. A dog barks. Splashes. a boat rumbles along the shore where the land dips in and out. The Eagles dive and the Sea lions Bark.

Home is where the heart is. Home is here on Mason County's Treasure Island.

Dinah's Most Unique Listing

This listing is one of a kind. Sitting on rolling acreage in Grapeview with nothing in sight but the trees this house has a story to tell.

The Seller is a great lady and she has added the most unique touches. Above the roughed in basement that would make a great wine cellar sits a interesting room with walls salvaged from a cedar home nearly a century old. The floors have radiant heat and there are secret stairs that lead to a loft with a peekaboo view of the downstairs.

The window in the kitchen looks strait through the interior of the home to line up with large windows resting above the claw foot tub.

In the living room is a bar that held an antique register from one of the bars when the town of Allyn was new in 1889. Behind the bar is a hand crafted sink and a custom stained glass door.Each room is unique and has a personality.

Outside you will find a huge pull through RV garage and with studio.There are also septic and water on another portion of the land where another home once was. It has upgraded wiring and can support two pottery kilns. Above, the stairs pull down to reveal a studio apartment in the works. There is also a secret safe and a lot of storage.

This home has been featured in RV magazine and has a style all it's own. If you are in the area take time to stop by and see this one of a kind playhouse. It is one to remember!
