Escape The City To These Gorgeous Olympic Peninsula Homes

By admin |

Immerse yourself in the beauties of nature + architecture all at once!

As amazing as the city of Seattle and its many amenities are, it can also feel incredible to be able to head home after a long day to a quiet retreat—no noise, no traffic, no crowds. And especially now—as working from home becomes more normal for many of us due to the ongoing fight against COVID-19 and commuting every single becomes less essential for a significant segment of the workforce—many people are exploring home options in more peaceful neighborhoods outside the city limits.

This completely unique area of the Puget Sound region is home to Olympic National Park, a nearly 1 million-acre wilderness with everything from mountains to temperate rain forest to miles of coastline. If you’ve ever dreamed of living in an idyllic natural setting away from the hustle and the bustle of big city life, this might just be the place for you.

Are you curious about the home options available in some of the Olympic Peninsula’s most desirable towns? Take a look below to see some of the area’s most extraordinary escapes.

 

1544 Mount Pleasant Rd, Port Angeles

This graceful, private residence is nestled on nearly five acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, showcasing stunning rhododendrons, Japanese maples, numerous perennials, and verdant evergreens, as well as an abundance of fruit trees, a huge vegetable garden, blueberries, raspberries, and a grape arbor. And with a versatile floorplan, designer finishes, a custom chef’s kitchen, and master suite with spa-like bath, the interior of this home is just as exceptional as the exterior. Just a 10-minute drive from the heart of lovely Port Angeles, an hour’s drive from the picturesque Olympic Hot Springs, and only about 80 miles from downtown Seattle, this stunning home is close to big city amenities, while still feeling a world away from it all.
