There’s something undeniably romantic about a cottage near the beach. This darling 1920 Port Hadlock abode is sited on a large, private lot in the Irondale beach community. 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 antique glass-paned door leads to a large deck for al fresco dining. Pack a picnic, grab the dog, and follow the wooded trail down to historic Irondale Beach Park for an afternoon of beachcombing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing. 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. Or stay local with Port Hadlock businesses & groceries nearby, plus Chimacum Corner Farmstand and Finn River Farm & Cidery. A simpler way of life awaits.
