San Juan Island glass home on the waterfront

You can’t get much closer to Puget Sound’s waters than what 2623 Pear Point Rd. offers. The three bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom Friday Harbor home sits atop the craggy shoreline providing incredible views across the San Juan Channel. Dubbed the Glass Box house, the home’s floor-to-ceiling window across multiple floors in the main house provide excellent visual access of Lopez, Shaw and Orcas Island, as well as spectacular views of Mt. Baker.

Designed by Kirkland-based architect Vasso Demetriou in 2008, the main house and adjoining guest suite are laid out over 6,348 square feet. A large, modern fireplace sits at the center of the main house, and a floating staircase winds up through its split levels. The kitchen features light-wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an eat-in bar, and it opens into an informal party lounge and dining room. Upstairs, the primary ensuite features the same sweeping views of Puget Sound, plus a private patio, a walk-in closet, built-in storage and a luxe master bath with double vanity and soaking tub. Past an office space, the third floor features another ensuite bedroom with rooftop access.

Off the main floor laundry room, an elevated deck pathway leads to the guest house—complete with an open-concept kitchen, living room and family/game room. Just below the guest suite, you’ll find a functional 1,252-square-foot three-car garage and workshop space.

This serene and private homestead is just two miles from downtown Friday Harbor, a charming and historic town with museums, restaurants, bars, bakeries and retail shops.
