About the home
This 1950 Old Town home sits on a tidy lot in one of Anacortes's most established neighborhoods. The layout is largely one level, with an oversized hallway threading together the three bedrooms and the bathroom — a detail that sounds minor until you're moving through the house and it just feels right. A new roof, all new windows, updated wiring, fresh flooring, and new paint mean the structural work is already done.
The kitchen was designed with period-inspired details and looks out over the backyard, which is maintained, sun-filled, and private enough to feel genuinely secluded. The living room carries the weight of the home's original era without feeling heavy. Out back, a detached two-car garage doubles as a workshop with its own subpanel — a rare find on a residential lot this size.
