Comfortable convenience beckons from this thoughtfully refreshed Port Orchard home-sweet-home! Showing off a long list of updates, this 648-square-foot retreat is wonderfully move-in ready. Not only will you find an updated kitchen, updated bathroom, fresh interior paint (and more!), but all systems are a go with a new gas furnace and on-demand hot water heater. One of this property’s highlights includes all of the flexible space—in addition to the main home, a detached flex space building and an extra storage shed are brimming with possibilities. Located at 817 Harrison Avenue Port Orchard, WA 98366 and just minutes to Downtown Port Orchard and the scenic waterfront, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on 0.34 acres is listed for $395,500. 

Charming curb appeal delights, and this 1942-built home offers a timeless aesthetic both inside and out. A sweet pathway leads to the front door, and just inside, the warm and welcoming living area is ready to become the backdrop for all that life brings your way! Eye-catching trim work and gleaming floors set the scene, and whether your style leans more trendy or traditional, you’ll find a canvas ready to be brought to life with your vision. 

From here, the updated and dialed-in kitchen is right at your fingertips. The smart layout makes the most of the floor plan, modern appliances ensure efficiency, abundant storage in neat cabinetry means you have room to keep all of your kitchen essentials organized, and generous counters are ready for culinary creativity. Whether you’re whipping up a homemade meal or baking dozens and dozens of your favorite holiday treats, there’s plenty of room to spread out! Here you’ll also find access to the spacious attic that’s accessible by a pull-down ladder. 

Both bedrooms provide tranquil space to unwind, and the newly updated bath sparkles with fresh style. Plus, the new gas furnace and an on-demand hot water heater keep things comfy all year long! 

One of the big benefits of this property is all of the versatile space. The property includes an extra storage shed with built-in cabinets, perfect for hobbies, garden tools, and outdoor toys. Then there’s the sizable detached flex space building that’s ready to become your home office, art or music studio, hobby room, or even a fitness center. 

The outdoor spaces on this large 0.34-acre lot are ready to be enjoyed as well. The lawn flows into the wooded natural setting at the back of the property, where you can bask in the peaceful setting. There’s also abundant opportunities for gardening—put your green thumb to work growing your favorite flowers, fruits, and veggies!
