A home away from home, or a home away from it all: For $1.8 million, you could buy 888 Seabluff Terrace in Coupeville. It's a cabin-style retreat on the shore of Washington's Whidbey Island.
Michael StadlerBuilt in 1972, the cabin-style home at 888 Seabluff Terrace on Coupeville's waterfront began its life as a modest A-frame. Through the past few decades, however, it's been expanded and remodeled into a sizable Whidbey Island retreat that's now on sale for $1.8 million.

The home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It sits on roughly a half-acre of land.
Michael StadlerThe two-bedroom, two-bathroom home measures 2,383 square feet over its two levels. The entire back of the home faces the water; the only thing standing between the shore and the house are large trees.
From its windows and decks, you get views of unobstructed Pacific Northwest paradise.

The house, which could serve as a primary residence or vacation home, is nestled among those trees on just under a half-acre of land. It offers sweeping views of the Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountains and the Seattle area skyline.
Beamed ceilings frame the living and dining rooms, which open to the gorgeous surrounding areas.

"[It's] centrally located between the historic towns of Coupeville and Langley on Whidbey Island, and is just up the road from the historic Greenbank Farm with its shops and walking trails," Muniz said.
The kitchen has an open, almost farmhouse feel. It's well equipped for serious chefs.

The home, as seen by daylight, still holds the charm of its A-frame design, but with space and light as added additions.
