16456 Thorpe Road Northeast

A private, tree-lined road leads to a 1.16-acre ribbon of land shaped by two very different waters. Along the east boundary, 145 feet of accessible medium-bank saltwater with floating dock opens to the bay; along the west, roughly 85 feet of low-bank meets the freshwater estuary. Few properties hold both landscapes within the same set of boundaries. From the mid-century home, the grounds wander gently sloped through an heirloom orchard, blueberry patch and a prominent century-old walnut tree. These are not simply remnants of another time—the trees and bushes still produce generously! The property’s history appears throughout the grounds. An intriguing early concrete structure built into the hillside is believed to have served as a farm smokehouse, while the 800-square-foot barn recalls North Kitsap’s early waterfront farming era, when chickens were raised locally and eggs, poultry and other goods traveled by dock and Mosquito Fleet vessel to markets around Puget Sound. The home pairs its mid-century character with thoughtfully updated systems, including heat pump (AC), electrical, plumbing, water filtration and more. A full daylight basement, partially finished, offers room to grow and build equity over time. All appliances remain, including the basement washers, dryer, refrigerator, safe, and barely used sauna. A place where saltwater, estuary, orchard and agriculture meet—quietly preserved at the end of the trees. No drive-bys please. Showings by appointment only.
