The story
Through a remote-controlled gate and down a private drive on 2.26 acres in Kingston sits the country home you've been picturing—where an apple pie cools on the counter and the orchard out back grew the apples. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main home (2,285 sq ft) has a tile roof, heat pump, wood-burning fireplace, and whole-house vacuum system. A permitted 1-bed detached cottage ADU (775 sq ft) with a full kitchen, full bath, wood stove, and electric wall heater works as a guest house, studio, or rental. The grounds have been lovingly tended by hand: Granny Smith, Jonagold, Gravenstein, Liberty, and Cosmic Crisp apples; Asian pears, apricot, fig, and Elephant Heart plum; loaded blueberries and established garden beds. Fragrant King George and Venus rhododendrons perfume the property each spring, lilacs follow, and sunset maples turn in fall. Benches are set on pads along the paths so there is always a place to sit. For the grower: two greenhouses—the large one on drip irrigation, the smaller one powered with water close by—plus a big barn, a workshop with skylight, a two-door woodshed, and the "Chicken Hilton" coop. The flock of one rooster and fourteen hens, laying up to a dozen eggs a day, can stay if you'd like. RV power in place, plus a fountain and waterfall. Public water from Kingston PUD and just minutes to the Kingston ferry.
