Welcome to 550 Wanamaker Road — a rare and truly extraordinary offering in the heart of Central Whidbey Island, where two beautifully appointed residences, 10+ acres of lush private land, and a lifetime of possibilities come together in one remarkable package.
This is the multigenerational compound you have been dreaming of — a genuine private oasis where family can live side by side while each household enjoys its own completely separate entrance, its own space, and its own sense of home. The two residences are thoughtfully separated by an enchanting enclosed garden and gazebo area — a shared sanctuary that connects without intruding, creating the perfect balance of togetherness and independence that so few properties can truly offer.
The original 1958 home has been lovingly and newly updated, honoring its character while delivering the comfort and style of modern living. The second residence, built in 2022, is a stunning testament to artisan craftsmanship — featuring live edge Douglas Fir finishes milled directly from the property itself, bringing a warmth, authenticity, and sense of place that simply cannot be replicated. Every surface tells the story of this land, and that is something truly special.
For the creative soul, an artist studio above the barn provides an inspiring retreat — flooded with natural light and surrounded by the kind of quiet beauty that makes great work possible. Whether you are a painter, sculptor, writer, or simply someone who has always dreamed of a space to create, this studio will speak to you the moment you walk through the door.
The property itself is nothing short of magical. Wander through the fenced garden, gather eggs from the chicken coop, tend to the apple, pear, plum, walnut and choke cherry trees that dot the landscape, or simply sit in the gazebo and breathe in the peace of a place that feels entirely removed from the world while remaining perfectly accessible to all that Central Whidbey has to offer. The barn rounds out an already extraordinary package, offering endless possibilities for storage, workshop space, or future creative endeavors.
Partial water views add yet another layer of beauty to this already breathtaking setting, while the 10+ acres of land provide the space, privacy, and freedom that island living at its finest is all about.
Whether you envision a multigenerational family retreat, a working hobby farm, an artist's haven, a vacation rental compound, or simply a deeply private sanctuary to call your own — 550 Wanamaker Road delivers on every front, and then some.
Gems like this simply do not come around often on Whidbey Island. This one is the real thing.
