uptown: 1940's Brick Cottage - 02/13/11 06:43 AM
Located in Port Townsend's premier neighborhood of "Uptown"(ladies in the 1890's wanted their homes up here on the bluff away from the harbor and riffraff of sailors) this home is much more than meets the eye from the street view.  Extra rooms for study, den, business, or an ADU, with basement and separate entrance.  Wood floors, wood windows, and the look and stability of brick.
Sunny corner lot with 2 car garage, back yard and patio. Home has 2555 square feet on a  (approx. ) 9000 sf lot.  Priced at $599,000.

A wonderful resource for old and young alike, this is located in a big park in the center of Uptown, and has two floors devoted to recreation, education and services.  There are kids games downstairs, lots of classes for adults upstairs, (yoga, stretching and low impact aroebics) meals for seniors, and often art shows or craft shows and sales.   Seniors have access to county resource lists, and can have their blood pressure checked by an RN.
On Saturday morning the Farmer's Market is in the closed off street out in front, and people sit on the grass listening to the entertainers.  … (0 comments)

uptown: Port Townsend's Uptown Neighborhood is Hot! - 04/06/10 03:47 AM
I love Spring, not only for the flowers and sunshine, but also doesn't hurt that real estate comes to life in our town.   All winter we have had not much activity and not many new listings, but this month we have had some interesting new listings and some very fast sales. 
The Uptown neighborhood is the original townsite that was settled in the early late 1800's.  Port Townsend was in the height of it's boom and there were grand buildings erected and ornate Victorian homes for those that could afford it.  Most of them have survived over the years and are … (4 comments)

uptown: New on the Market in Port Townsend - 03/30/10 01:32 AM
Once in a while we have the opportunity to market a home that has never been on the market before and there is so much interest, it is really exciting.  This is the case with my newest listing in the "Uptown" area of Port Townsend.  Uptown was settled by the original founding families of Port Townsend in the late 1800's and is also referred to as "Original Townsite" in the public records.  Most of the lots are small, a legal and typical lot in Uptown is 50 x 100.  There are a few that are smaller and homes are "grandfathered in".

uptown: Less Than a Condo! - 03/29/10 02:46 AM
Lowest priced home in Port Townsend's favorite neighborhood called "Uptown".  The original townsite is where the early  proper families settled to get away from the rif raf at the harbor.  The early settler's built their homes with concerns for weather so not all have water views but may have shelter from the bluffs. 
This cottage  was built in 1940 and is loaded with charming features, including a large window looking over the large wood deck and Olympic Mountain views.  It has one bedroom with full bath, and a second romm that could be a guest room with it's own entry, or an … (1 comments)

uptown: Port Townsend's Carnegie Library - 02/26/10 07:44 AM
Port Townsend Carnegie Library in Uptown
                                                                                 A gift from Andrew Carnegie, this incredible library is housed in it's original 1898 building (with the exception of an add on from early 1990 when the town had outgrown the original building.)   A group of women organized in the late 1890's  for the purpose of building a new Library, and first bought the land, then obtained a grant from the Carnegie Library Foundation. 
 The architecture followed the guidelines of the foundation and has the look of a charming  art deco building. The front steps are no longer used, but are still grand and stately.  … (2 comments)

uptown: Port Townsend Neighborhoods Part Five - 11/24/09 01:12 PM
Uptown Neighborhood
 
By far the most popular place to call home in Port Townsend due to its great location close to everything, and it's Victorian architecture, preserved since the early 1880's.  Chance and circumstances have saved this wonderful little town from the remodel and tear down of these historic homes and buildings.  From the earliest recession in the 1890's when the planned railroad went to Seattle instead, this shipping port saw many downturns and setbacks which led to unemployment and isolation.
 
 Today, we still have those issues, but people who can manage to live here enjoy the tradeoff for small … (5 comments)

uptown: Port Townsend Uptown Street Fair - 08/27/09 09:11 AM
A glimpse into this wonderful whacky place called Port Townsend.  It seems every weekend has a festival or reason to celebrate.  Life is short!
Last weekend on a gorgeous sunny day, it was the "Uptown Street Fair".   Held in the Uptown business section on Lawrence Street at Tyler,  beginning with the popular Farmer's Market, it  featured live music most of the day, a 5 minute parade in which anyone can participate, a beer garden with local brew on tap and lots of food, arts and  crafts.  People enjoy the opportunity to mingle, greet neighbors, hear upbeat music, shop for food and art, and have a beer … (2 comments)

uptown: Port Townsend Dry Bed Farming - 07/08/09 12:59 PM
I live around the corner from this project and yet knew nothing about it.  I was walking my dogs and came upon a class of  Port Townsend High School seniors taking a field trip to see this experimental garden which will be grown with less water than normal farms.   This farm is located in an area know as "Happy Valley" which is sheltered from the wind, and has sunshine all day. 
                                 
The land belongs to a Port Townsend citizen and was donated for this project.  The crops are  varied and planted in rows with white wooden markers.  There are 19 varieties … (0 comments)
