Home: Whether you’re searching for a home that feels like a woodsy retreat, dreaming of a neighborhood with beach parks, bakeries, and waterfront dining, want access to the Seattle ferry, or need to get to work at the shipyard, this Manette home could be the place. Sit in the shelter of the covered deck in rain and sun—winter mornings with coffee and a quilt, summer afternoons with iced tea and a book. Settle under the security of a brand new roof and park in the attached garage. Curl up by the fireplace in the spacious living room. Fix meals in the kitchen with its copper island, granite counters and open dining area with hardwood floors throughout. Rest in the bedrooms and listen for morning birdsong. Wild cherry, madrona, alder, fir and maple shade this large lot with a back lawn for picnics and play, all near groceries and schools.

There’s a small wooded area on my property that provides a lot of privacy and peace…It’s just a good mix of rural quiet but urban amenities.

Community: This is a home that lets you belong to more than one kind of place. It’s in the trees, in the neighborhood, by the city, near the water, and just 10 minutes from the ferry to Seattle. So you can belong in the peace of the trees, and you can belong to this small town, and you can reach the places you need to be. Turn north away from the ferry terminal and head to the Manette Bridge. The arching bridge spans the Port Washington Narrows to connect Manette to downtown Bremerton. Manette is the sort of neighborhood where you might expect a little seaside, small-town drama series to take place—one sprinkled with a little history, full of PNW charm, and seasoned with the salt air of the Puget Sound. A colorful business district with views up the narrows and over Sinclair Inlet hosts a waterfront restaurant where boaters can pull up and moor (though the dock is sometimes spoken for by sun-bathing seals), an antique shop, parks, bakeries, local watering holes, and an indoor-outdoor Thai restaurant with food worth writing home about (unless you’re home already—luck you).

Location
The Bremerton-Seattle ferry route passes right through these waters. Notice the Seattle skyline in the distance.
Find 2930 Cascade Trail in the trees just 1 mile from Manette’s bakeries, parks, and restaurants.
Cross the Port Washington Narrows on the Manette Bridge and then you’re about 5 minutes from 2930 Cascade Trail.
Head to Khao Soi, just a mile from 2930 Cascade Trail, and get a patio table when the weather’s good.
Saboteur Bakery is locally famous for croissants of perfection, which is why they sell out early—plan accordingly and you’ll be happy!
Manette is the sort of place people around the Puget Sound area drive to for an afternoon away and then dream about settling down in. This is the place for people who feel the allure of a neighborhood business district with Olympic mountain views, delectable Thai food served on a patio, or fish and chips with a view of boaters passing under the bridge.
Who wouldn’t want to live just a bit closer to the artisan pastries and authentic croissants at Saboteur (we can honestly tell you we’ve driven 40 minutes to reach them on more than one occasion only to find the true locals got their first, and that’s our only consolation, because no one deserves local baked goods more than the locals). Don’t forget about Larry & Kristi’s Bakery where they’ve been serving up doughnuts since 1989; you’ll definitely want to spread the bakery love around to them too!
We’re focusing on food, but there’s more to the location than that. Manette gives a sense of neighborhood, while also providing the peace, variety, and vitality of nature. Visit the many waterfront parks and wooded areas nearby like Illahee Preserve, Lions Park, and Evergreen Rotary Park. Might as well go often, they’re under 10 minutes away from home. If this blend of city access with neighborhood art walks and life near the water calls your name, we think you’ll like Manette.
When you need to get out of town (or head to work), the ferry leaves just across the bridge to take commuters to Seattle, the shipyard is just 15 minutes away, Bangor Naval Base is about half an hour north, and living here you get a serious head start on access to the trails, campgrounds, lakes, and hot springs of Olympic National Park compared to the big cities.
A split order of Cajun cod and chips with a water view at the Boat Shed. If you have a boat, pull right up to the dock!

Wraparound Deck
This updated 1940s home with a brand new roof is set in the peace of the trees near the town life of Manette and within easy distance of the Bremerton-Seattle ferry. Park in the garage or in the driveway, then step up to this wraparound covered deck constructed with high quality, long lasting lumber.
The deck invites you to make outdoor coffee with a book a regular part of life. Bring a blanket when it's raining—the deep eaves keep the deck comfortable in lots of weather. Tuck your feet up, pretend you’re in a tree house, then open the pages of the novel you can’t put down, or call a friend. The living room is just steps away if you need an extra blanket, and when it’s time for a fresh cup of coffee, a glass of lemonade, or something bubbly the kitchen isn’t far at all. Speaking of those places, it’s about time we head inside and take a look at the house.
Living Room
Pre-finished hardwood floors extend throughout the living room with its wood-burning fireplace and brick hearth. Recessed overhead lighting along with south and east-facing windows illuminate this cozy room with tree views. We especially love the beautiful madrona growing up over the driveway—a native PNW tree. Sitting on the deck or in the living room feels like being in a tree house; you might even find yourself playing make believe, singing old camp songs, or braiding friendship bracelets—don’t say we didn’t warn you about the boost of joy you might feel here.
Three steps down from the dining area and kitchen, this living room offers lots of good space for comfortable reading corners, bookcases, plants, colorful rugs, and your favorite houseplants. This room is a welcome addition to the original 1942 footprint of the home.
Eat-in Kitchen
This doesn't feel like your run of the mill updated kitchen. The copper island provides color and texture, additional storage, and a spot to sit and visit with the cook. Pendant lights provide interest, open shelving offers a place for your prettiest glassware and favorite ceramics, and a window looks south over the sink for good light all day long. The kitchen is complete with an oven/range, hood vent, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The pantry shelves at the end of the counter extend to the ceiling to maximize the space.
Dining Area
The hardwood floors continue into the dining room overlooking the fireside living room and out to the trees beyond. Lay a big potluck buffet out on the kitchen island when friends come to dinner, then take a seat in the open dining area.
Laundry
The laundry room stands just off the kitchen with a tile floor and a Dutch door that opens to a side porch with steps to the back yard. You'll also find the electrical panel in here. Swing the top half of the door open to hear the wind in the trees (and maybe even feel a bit like Snow White while you do chores).
Primary Bedroom with Walk-in Closet
Follow the hall from the kitchen and dining area back to the primary bedroom in the SW corner of the home. Windows high in the wall allow for light, tree views, and privacy. The homeowner has loved waking up to the sound of birds. This primary bedroom includes 2 closets: an open closet that also makes a great spot to tuck a dresser, and a walk-in closet. The walk-in closet is finished with a tile floor and shelving for additional storage. You might notice yourself feeling fancy in there—no harm in that. Notice also the attic access in the ceiling of the walk-in.
Full Bath
The full bath is set in the hall near all the bedrooms. A tile floor, vanity with plenty of drawers, mirrored medicine chest, shower/tub, and window to the back yard complete the room.
2 Additional Bedrooms
Set in the back NW corner of the home, this simple bedroom is perfect for family, housemates, or guests. Soak up the peachy-apricot vibes, or transform the room with your favorite tones.
The 3rd bedroom, currently in use as a home office, is the first door on the right when you take the hall from the kitchen and dining area.
All three simple bedrooms offer comfort and privacy.
Garage & Grounds
Park in the 2-car attached garage, or use it for additional storage space or workshop space. A door opens from the back of the garage into a tall crawl space/unfinished basement area that houses the furnace and gives you access to the updated water lines—it's always good to see those! Guests can park in the paved driveway or down on the street in the neighborhood.
For time outside, enjoy sitting on the covered deck on the east side of the house, or come out to the partially fenced back yard on the west side for afternoon picnics, cookouts, play time, and bird watching. The back yard and home only take up part of the 0.32 acre lot. The 13,939 sq ft lot (0.32 acres) includes the driveway, home, back yard, and a wooded area beyond.
When you visit, explore the mown area beyond the back yard to get a sense of the space. The lot is shaded by fir, alder, maple, madrona, and brush with some late-blooming foxgloves mixed in. Some people refer to turning lemons into lemonade. Here you can turn brambles into cobbler and jam. Where there are woods in the PNW there are blackberries. You can beat them, which is pretty hard, or tame them a bit and join them. The warm smell of blackberries on a summer day is one of the best things in life, and you’ll surely have it here. Along with the blackberries, a wild cherry is starting to bear bright red fruit in its branches over the back yard.
Live in a place with history, a home with stories going back to the shipyard boom of WWII, a place with the sense of a woodsy PNW retreat, all within easy reach of groceries, schools, parks, trails, beaches, and restaurants.
