The light-filled home is brimming with vintage character and the spirit of a bygone era. Inside, you’ll find 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, period lighting, and a charming country kitchen with a built-in corner hutch. Many thoughtful upgrades throughout, including new LVP flooring, energy-efficient Envi wall heaters, carpet, and fresh paint. A full dining room connects to the living room, which features glimmering water views, and a cozy wood stove set into its original brick hearth.

An idyllic escape for weekends away, a writer’s retreat, fishing trip home base - or an invitation to simply live with a smaller imprint. This is the kind of getaway that feels increasingly hard to find at this price point. Just a two-hour drive from Seattle, a 12-minute drive to Port Townsend, with Fort Flagler State Park, Port Ludlow + the Hood Canal Bridge within easy reach.
