29852 Marine View Drive SW Federal Way, WA 98023

A classic 1960s mid-century on Marine View Drive, original throughout and offered as-is — a chance to take a true post-and-beam home and make it your own. The architecture is the draw: deep exposed beams, tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings that carry from inside to the covered deck, and walls of glass that pull a panoramic north-facing Puget Sound view straight into the main living space. The water runs the length of the view — Des Moines and the marina, the wooded point of Three Tree Point, and West Seattle in the far distance — visible from the great room, the dining room, and the deck beyond.Inside, the original character is intact. A floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace anchors the great room, where open-beam ceilings and a wall of view glass set the tone. The dining room sits at the corner of the glass, the kitchen opens to the main level, and a stone-and-cedar entry with an open stair connects the two floors. Period details run throughout — wood cabinetry, original baths, mid-century lines that are increasingly hard to find unaltered.Outside, a full-width covered deck stretches across the water side, built for taking in the Sound in any weather. There's a carport and a separate two-car garage. Community gated beach access is available for a small yearly fee, putting the shoreline within reach. A solid mid-century with a rare north-facing Sound view, ready for its next chapter — minutes to the Des Moines Marina and quick to I-5, SR-509, and Sea-Tac.
