RENTAL PENDING. Our tenants are moving on, after more than 3 years here, so this 3BR/2BA (plus office) one-level house is coming available. Apply through Zillow's very secure online system and book a tour this week. This large, modern home rests on a park-like setting of 5 acres with forest trails, a social area and a very private layout. There are two acres of safe, private forest trails right on the property, making this a children's or pet's paradise. There is just one other smaller house on the 5 acres with one quiet tenant. Enjoy luxurious outdoor country living space but still be just minutes from everything in town. Inside the house, there is plenty of space in the 2112 square feet for families or roommates. This house can come furnished or unfurnished. A happy abode that gives you a country feel with town convenience. Close to shopping, restaurants, the hospital and 3 miles to the waterfront downtown district. Yet minutes from the highway out of town to avoid the summer traffic. House has a well-lit large great room and a large 13x17 master bedroom with walk-in closet, separate bath and shower. Second large bathroom has double vanity with a separate room for toilet and shower/tub. There are two other 13x14 bedrooms with forest views and the 11x13 bonus office room is perfect for working at home or a playroom. All rooms have private forest views. Reliable internet with an outdoor wifi signal booster. Strong cell signals on the property. Package delivery right to your door. Plenty of parking for guests. House is tucked away up a 400-ft driveway up from the road, privately oriented from the other house. Front deck facing large lawn. Back deck with sliding door goes out to the covered pavilion and firepit for entertaining. The house itself has fantastic natural light with many windows, vaulted ceilings and skylights. Park at the side entrance just steps from the house, plus you get a large covered carport parking area big enough for two cars or one with bonus storage space. You'll save storage fees because you also get roughly a 14'x6' indoor storage area (possible use as studio space for an artist, workshop or workout area). Covered shelter for your kayaks and bikes. Visitor parking area for 7 cars, plus room for an RV or boat. Large circular driveway makes coming and going with big vehicles and boats easy. When you get home to this forest retreat, it feels like you're a world away but you're always near everything in Port Townsend. A haven. Just enjoy your own space and solitude with near 360-degree privacy on this property from other neighbors. Gardener's delight with shady and sunny spots. Seeking long-term tenant for a 12 to 24 month lease, a way to lock in your rent and peace of mind. Rent of $3,500 can be discounted to $3,300 if you share maintenance duties with the other tenant, helping take trash to the nearby transfer center regularly, mow a few times a year with a riding mower and blow leaves a few times in the fall. If you use your own pick-up truck, rent will be $3,200. Quiet and private large modern rental houses on acreage just minutes from the town center are very scarce in Port Townsend.
