Private Northwest Retreat with Pond, Shop-Style Garage & Contractor-Friendly Acreage. Discover the perfect blend of country privacy and Pacific Northwest lifestyle on this beautifully situated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home set on 2.5 secluded acres. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and productivity, this property offers rare features that are increasingly hard to find. At the heart of the land is a private pond, easily stocked for fishing, creating a peaceful backdrop for daily living or weekend enjoyment. A large southern-exposure garden area provides excellent sun for growing vegetables, flowers, or fruit, ideal for gardeners and homesteading enthusiasts. The home includes a 900 sq ft heated garage, warmed by an efficient propane heater—perfect for a workshop, hobby space, or secure equipment storage. Solar panels help offset energy costs, adding long-term efficiency and value. Step outside to the large covered porch, an ideal spot for summer entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. An older barn-style structure at the back of the property offers additional storage or future project potential. The expansive lot easily accommodates RV, boat, or contractor vehicle parking, with plenty of room to run a contractor or home-based business, including space for work trucks and equipment. All of this is located just minutes from the Puget Sound, offering quick access when the salmon are running, along with nearby recreation and coastal charm.
