Bainbridge Island: Wall Flower with Inner Beauty

On the market for over 275 days, this house located in the Fletcher Bay area–a bucolic setting six or so minutes to town by car dropped from $659,000 to $639,000 in February, and to $625,000 today.

Though the exterior of the house gives me an I’m-just-standing-here-drinking-punch-hoping-no-one-asks-me-to-dance impression, the interior has an open yet secluded feeling. Wood-wrapped windows showcase the pretty trees beyond the house from a lot of the rooms.

The kitchen has an herb window–one of those great nineties concepts that I haven’t seen in more recently constructed houses.

The comfortable, spacious family room next to the kitchen has a river rock fireplace and access to a large deck.

The entire lower level has a home office, and the rest of it stands ready to finish out, with a space framed and plumbed for a bathroom

I’m particluarly drawn to the sense of privacy and pretty country setting this house offers.
