The story
Late afternoon slips across the lawn and up the porch steps, and this 1919 cottage, perched on an elevated corner lot, glows like it was finished yesterday. A top-to-bottom remodel brought the Bremerton classic back to life without sanding away its soul: new siding, vinyl windows, a new roof under five years old, and blown-in insulation in the walls and ceiling with batts beneath the floors. Inside, 1,026 square feet of single-level living unfolds with an easy, unhurried grace. New LVP flooring carries the light from the entry into the living room, where morning arrives quietly and stays. The kitchen is made for simple rituals, with new cabinets and a new stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Two bedrooms, the primary bedroom among them, share one fresh bath. A new washer and dryer, new water heater, and new plumbing and electrical fixtures mean the work is already done, and the drain line was recently snaked. A new ductless mini-split heat pump brings efficient heating and air conditioning to every season. Outside, the fenced yard opens onto a flat lawn made for croquet, a garden, or a long summer evening, and tennis courts sit just across the street. The home is being established as one of just two homes in a detached condominium (condo map pending), with HOA dues of only $50 a year, no rental cap, and no pet restrictions, so owning it feels like owning a house, only simpler. Everything here has been made new except the character. Come in, the light is already waiting for you.
