TODAY’S TOP PROPERTIES

656 Muckleshoot Circle, La Conner, WA 98257

Here’s what I love about it – A Balinese-inspired sanctuary perched over Skagit Bay with vaulted ceilings, skylights and wraparound views so good you might forget you’re in Washington, not Bali. Three levels of airy living—including a loft suite and lower-level flex space with its own entrance—offer endless vacation rental possibilities. New roof, heat‑pump AC and fresh paint keep maintenance worries at bay. Fishing boats, ferry horns or Olympic sunsets? You pick. With projected bookings topping $52K, this retreat blooms returns as beautifully as the Skagit Valley in spring.

3417 Hanover Ave, Richmond, VA 23221

Here’s what I love about it – A Museum District gem that rocked the 2022 Mother’s Day Home Tour with a porch built for café-hopping and hardwood floors waving you inside. The subway‑tiled kitchen island and open layout are perfect for latte‑fueled brunches or impromptu gallery openings in the living space. Upstairs, the primary suite’s custom walk‑in closet feels like a luxury pop‑up shop, while the finished basement and terraced backyard deliver bonus guest flexibility. Steps from Carytown’s boutiques, Scott’s Addition breweries, and The Byrd Theatre, this home is practically its own cultural exhibit. With projected bookings near $80K a year, consider this your VIP pass to Richmond’s hottest ticket—no museum lines required.

162 Acorn Ln, Kunkletown, PA 18058

Here’s what I love about it – This raised chalet in Eldo Lakes is part cozy lodge, part adventure basecamp, complete with soaring cathedral ceilings, a cedar-lined sauna (sauna sessions? Always), and a wood‑burning stove primed for fireside storytelling. Quartz countertops and cherry cabinetry give the kitchen serious après‑ski cred. Step onto the spacious deck for forest‑fresh breakfasts or impromptu bow‑and‑arrow practice. With projected annual cash flow of $34K and a cash‑on‑cash return flirting with 35%, it’s as much a financial pow‑day as a winter wonderland. Ski slopes, hiking trails, and prime hunting grounds are all within walking distance—year‑round thrills included.
