Roy Lundgren design sit on an Orcas Island hilltop

Island living plus a $1,100,000 price does not mean you get a view of the water, but it does mean you get privacy, and in this case, a custom Roy Lundgren designed retreat with broad views of the terrain, and yes, water views along the horizon after all.

The land falls away from this two story, 2,448 square foot Contemporary house. As the land drops, the views expand providing plenty of incentives to sit outside and watch a peaceful world roll down to the sea.

Exposed beams are one of the subtle decor choices. They’re reminders of the wood structure and the surrounding nature, but don’t intrude. While this a great supply of windows, the house doesn’t devote itself to glass, which can be a bit intimidating if you’re the one who has to wash all of them.

A country kitchen has a subtle wash of color on the natural wood surfaces that frame and face the cabinetry. Simple ideas like the pot rack over the center island are practical and pleasant. Stainless steel appliances seem to show up everywhere, and somehow manage to blend with the color scheme by not being overly polished.

The color tones are taken up a notch in the three bedrooms and two bathrooms, especially where they get to play with a variety of ceiling angles on the second floor. The second floor also provides yet another view opportunity thanks to a balcony.

Built in 1994, it could look like a retiree’s home, but the office suggests work happens anywhere. Telescope and its distractions are optional.

Head outside for the rest of the 10.25 acre lot that includes an organic garden, pond, and 1,400 square foot barn/shop.
