The story
At dusk the firs around this place go black against a violet sky, and the porch lights come on at the end of a long gravel drive, one warm window at a time. Behind them sit 1.97 level acres in Port Orchard, a 2008 single-story rambler of 1,823 square feet, and a detached shop waiting across the grass. Step in under the white-columned covered porch and the house opens around you, vaulted ceilings, engineered hardwood floors, and a dining room with a bay window and built-in seat made for watching weather move through the trees. The living room gathers at a gas fireplace set into a floor-to-ceiling wall of wood slats, then flows into the kitchen: stainless appliances, a gas range, a peninsula with bar seating, and a walk-in pantry. Three bedrooms and 1.75 baths in all. The primary suite claims its own corner, vaulted with a high transom, a sliding door to the back patio, a walk-in closet, and a bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. A laundry room with built-in lockers and a bench keeps muddy boots by the door. Outside, an attached 2-car garage, the shop, and RV parking leave room for every project, a partially fenced yard wraps the patio, and the pasture rolls out to a tall ring of evergreens on a dead-end road in Kitsap County. No HOA, high-speed internet, and the kind of quiet only acreage gives. Mornings belong to coffee on the porch. Evenings belong to the patio and that long Northwest light. When the sky turns violet again, the porch light will already be on.
