As the off season moving cycle approaches, it's time to start looking for a home on Whidbey Island, Washington! As one of the most beloved PCS destinations the Navy has to offer, many military families try and secure this as a repeat duty station.
This week, MilitaryByOwner’s Homes of the Week are available near NAS Whidbey Island for sale or rent in Oak Harbor and Anacortes.
Pacific Northwest views are a highly sought-after amenity among home buyers on Whidbey Island. There’s simply nothing like the striking green landscape against a vibrant blue sky. Windows with pleasant views from each room are waiting for the buyer who chooses this home. Picture windows allow natural light to stream through and brighten the interior in the best possible way.
A move-in ready kitchen is also high on most buyers' wish lists. Stately dark cabinets complement the wood floors and granite counter tops. With the substantial window overlooking the lush backyard, the room never feels dark. Rounding out the most requested list is a master bedroom en suite, complete with a five-piece bathroom which includes a stand alone shower and soaking tub.
Residents will enjoy the close proximity to NAS Whidbey and walking distance to neighborhood elementary and high schools.
There’s much to be said for a move-in ready rental home. Neutral colors and an updated kitchen make for a simple transition, while a fireplace adds a cozy touch to chilly days and nights. For practical purposes, there's plenty of storage space, while the 2.5-car garage provides additional space.
The next renters will find an abundance of green space for children and approved pets to run and play in both the front and back yard. The back yard is safely fenced. They’ll also find plenty of camaraderie with neighbors, many who are working on NAS Whidbey.
Entertaining on pleasant days is easy on the large deck in the back yard. And, if needed, there's RV parking available.
Colonial style homes have a following who are thrilled to see a vacancy when house shopping. Maybe the architecture is a fond memory from childhood or an always admired aesthetic. Either way, Oak Harbor has one available with more than its fair share of charm, not to mention the ideal neighborhood location.
The interior is almost 3,000 square feet, which allows for ample space to entertain, while at the same time offering plenty of storage. The master bedroom/bath is a gem outfitted with coveted dual vanities and a separate shower. The built-in bathtub offers a retreat-like feel for a bit of respite at the end of the day. Keeping with the overall style of the home, the kitchen continues the Colonial allure with white cabinets and a butcher block island. Updated touches like granite counter tops and appliances ensure a modern practicality.
