Some homes announce themselves. This one rises from the trees in warm, timeless brick, a handsome 3-bedroom Contemporary built in 2000, standing proud on a quarter-acre-plus lot at the edge of McCormick Woods in Port Orchard, where the evergreens lean in close and the light comes soft and golden. Step through the door and the morning floods in. Skylights pour South Kitsap sunshine across an open living room that flows into the kitchen, where coffee and conversation belong together. A gas fireplace glows at the heart of it, and architectural niches add character throughout. Across 3,018 square feet, main-level living unfolds in a single graceful story. The primary suite is a hushed retreat with double sinks and a walk-in shower, while two more bedrooms keep their own corners. A tidy mudroom takes the everyday in stride, & upstairs a sprawling bonus room becomes whatever you dream. Even the garage is dialed in, epoxy-coated floors, under-stair storage, & a hot-water spigot. Out back, a protected greenbelt stands guard, a curtain of firs that can never be built upon, with territorial views beyond. When evening settles, the firs glow amber & the air turns sweet with cedar. The patio, wired for music, holds slow summer nights, and a brand-new roof crowns it all. Golf fairways, trails, and a clubhouse wait among the trees. This is the kind of place you settle into and never want to leave. Come stand on the patio at dusk. The front door is open, and it's been waiting for you.
