1226 Milo Street

A rare find in Port Townsend: a 1910 Victorian farmhouse that has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved. The character here is palpable, and you will feel it the moment you step through the custom trellised entry draped in honeysuckle. Sun-drenched with excellent southern exposure, the home fills with optimal natural light all day long. The heart of it all is a chef's kitchen built around a LaCanche French range, with soapstone counters, a farmhouse sink with grooved drainboard, custom cabinetry, butcher block with compost insert, skylight, and a sunny three-bay south window. Handcrafted details add warmth and ambiance at every turn: custom teak and fir pantry shelving, a Dutch exterior door that invites the breeze in, original fir floors, high ceilings, and a stunning blue parlor with built-in bookcases and library ladder. Modern comforts are handled: newer heat pump, new water heater with flood alarm, updated wiring, new windows and insulation. The finished basement provides an additional 542 sq/ft of usable space. The way the home and shop are situated on their corner lot creates a sense of space far beyond the .35 acres on paper, a private sanctuary on a quiet street, complete with brick patio, gardens, and a finished studio/office, all within walking distance of Fort Worden and Centrum. And there's more: a separate buildable corner lot, ready to be a future homesite or your dream garden. A one-of-a-kind private escape that feels built especially for you.
