Harstine Island is an oasis, a peaceful hideaway for the Paquette Ellis post-and-beam style home which sits above Pickering Passage, but yet has beach access. Hot-cold hose bibs near the garage allow for a quick rinse of saltwater off water toys and the paws of family pets.

A custom master bath is one of the home’s signature features, including a heated tile floor. Five windows give the owners a waterfront view while at the vessel sinks that sit atop an open–face vanity. An oversized, tiled 9–foot long shower is well–lit naturally via 6–foot long stepped–down glass block wall.

Granite tile enhances a gourmet kitchen that is the heart of this home, with panoramic water view and surround sound stereo. The tongue–and–groove pine ceiling throughout is the perfect cover for the county–required fire sprinkler system. A wood stove sits ready to take the chill off in a place you wouldn’t mind being snowed in at.
