Home of the Week in Port Orchard

This home located at 1702 Woods Road in Port Orchard is a rare find that sits on over 3 acres and features upgrades you won't find elsewhere.  Listed at $314,900, this 2,213 square foot home contains 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Recessed lighting draws your attention to the tongue and groove ceiling on the country porch.

The quality of Merbau hardwood floors greet you the moment you enter this lovely home.  Imagine sweeping down this grand staircase to greet your guests in style!

A beautiful full wood mantle showcases a tiled fireplace and a recessed TV shelf.  Built in speakers, tall ceilings and plenty of sunlight encourage hours of memories in the family room.

Bright and cheerful with over-sized windows and recessed lighting. The view of your backyard will be so relaxing as you cook up a storm on granite tile counter tops!

The white crown molding really brings out the beauty of the hardwoods in the over-sized formal dining room.

The vaulted ceiling only makes this over-sized master suite appear even bigger! When you see the walk-in closet with a wonderful organized shelving system or the granite tiled tub enclosure in the master bath, you will know you've found your home.

This is the guest bathroom. Isn't it stunning?

The backyard rolls all the way back to a quaint creek. Fenced, you will also find outbuildings for more storage.

Something to do this Weekend: Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour

I don't know about you but my two most favorite things in this world are a good cheese matched with a quality wine.  Lucky for me (and everyone else who likes to indulge) the Olympic Peninsula Wineries are putting on their third annual Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour this weekend, April 16th and 17th.

Eight wineries and eight cheesemakers are pairing up to offer participants great tasting local wine and palette pleasing cheeses.  $25 buys you tastings at all of the participating wineries.
