About this property

Banana leaves lift in the afternoon breeze and a small waterfall keeps talking in the garden, the kind of summer you don't expect a mile from the Manchester crab pier. This 2010 single-story home in Port Orchard's Manchester area holds 1,418 square feet, three bedrooms and two full baths on a .17-acre corner lot on a dead-end street. Inside, the living room opens to a dining room and a kitchen with an eating space. The primary suite keeps its own bath and a walk-in closet. A ductless mini split heat pump handles the warm days, double-pane windows handle the rest. Outside, tropical landscaping frames a patio where mornings start with coffee and the sound of water over stone. A big greenhouse and eight raised beds wait for tomatoes, herbs and whatever you want to try next, all inside a partially fenced yard. The attached three-car garage and wide paved driveway leave room for the toys, with RV parking and space for nine vehicles in all, plus a territorial view and no HOA. Manchester State Park is about five minutes away. Drop a crab pot off the Manchester pier or the Waterman dock, launch the boat for salmon, dig clams near Olalla, or spend a Saturday on Long or Horseshoe Lake. Southworth ferry and the Annapolis foot ferry keep Seattle and Bremerton close, and Port Orchard shopping, dining and the marina are roughly 10 to 15 minutes out. Manchester's pub, library and post office sit just down the road. The garden is already awake. Come hear the waterfall for yourself.
