1485 Deer Park Rd, Port Angeles, WA 98362

This might be the one. Set on 1.3 acres just outside Port Angeles, this 3BD/2BA home has a layout that gives everyone space to settle in, along with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the property. The main level is open and bright, with a kitchen and island that make it easy to be part of the conversation while cooking, plus a living room that opens onto a wraparound deck. The upper living room is one of the best spots in the house. Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving gives it the feel of a cozy library, and a wood stove makes it especially inviting when the weather turns chilly. The primary suite is generous with its own deck, a pretty great spot for morning coffee or a little fresh air without going too far. Outside, the property has plenty going on: a garden, outbuildings, a wraparound deck, and quite possibly the cutest chicken coop around. With 1.3 level acres to work with, there is room for gardening, hobbies, animals, and enjoying a little more breathing room around you. Deer Park Rd takes you toward the Olympic Mountains and the recreational opportunities of Olympic National Park, while Port Angeles is still close enough for the everyday things. It's the kind of property where you can spend the afternoon puttering around the garden, grab a book from the library-like living room, and call it a pretty good day.
