8001 Van Decar Road Southeast

Tucked among towering Pacific Northwest evergreens, this beautifully reimagined country retreat delivers the best of both worlds: serene rural living with surprisingly easy access to Seattle, Tacoma, and the Kitsap Peninsula's vibrant waterfront communities. Set on a fully landscaped third-of-an-acre lot, the home underwent a complete, two-year ground-up transformation — and it shows in every detail. New electrical, plumbing, insulation, and lighting form the invisible backbone of a home that feels entirely new. Warm hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen layout create an effortless flow that's equally suited for quiet evenings and lively gatherings. The chef-ready kitchen features new appliances, custom cabinetry, and a dedicated food pantry — storage that actually works for the way real people live. The updated bathrooms are clean and modern, and a generous variety of closets means you'll never run out of places to put things. Outside, the freshly excavated and hydro-seeded yard is a blank canvas ready for your vision — complete with a charming playhouse and additional storage sheds. The oversized front porch and deck invite morning coffee and evening sunsets over the tree line.
