Welcome to your own Pacific Northwest retreat in the gated waterfront community of Hartstene Pointe on Harstine Island. This beautifully updated Island Home offers a rare front-facing location with unobstructed views of the forest and glimpses of the water beyond—no neighboring units directly in front, creating a sense of privacy that is hard to find in this community. Inside, you'll find updates including kitchen, bathrooms, and newer flooring, blending modern comfort. This unit features a traditional staircase rather than a spiral, providing easier everyday living and access between levels. The flexible floor plan offers comfortable spaces for full-time living, weekend escapes, or a potential vacation rental opportunity. The HOA handles exterior maintenance, roofing, decking, landscaping, and more, allowing you to spend less time maintaining a home and more time enjoying everything the community has to offer. Hartstene Pointe feels like having a private state park right outside your door—without needing to book a campsite a year in advance. Explore miles of wooded trails, private saltwater beaches, a marina, boat launch, clubhouse, swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and abundant wildlife. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the trees, launching a kayak from the beach, or spending weekends exploring the shoreline, this is a lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and simplicity.
