We are a retired couple who are downsizing, still living within the community. We are selling our large, flexible, comfortably rustic house, perfect for a multigenerational household, a family with kids or for 2 separate households.

It’s 3000 square feet on 3 levels. The house is on a slope, with 2 main entrances. At one time it housed a large blended family. The current setup is a 2250 square foot, 2 bath main house with a 700 square foot rental apartment, also called an auxiliary dwelling unit (ADU). There is a staircase between the main and lower floor, with a lockable door. If desired, the ADU kitchen can be removed.

The main floor has a very large kitchen/dining area, large living room, two small bedrooms, a bathroom with 2 sinks and a shower, a laundry room and a large mudroom. The non-bearing wall between the 2 bedrooms can be removed to turn it back to a single primary bedroom.

The top floor has two bedrooms, one of which is primary with a large bright sitting area, and a large open middle area between them (game room, TV room, kids sleeping area, etc.). There is a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, no shower.

The lower floor is the ADU, a finished storage area and a stand-up “crawl space“ which is used as a second pantry and storage.
Attached to the house there is also a 150 sq ft wood paneled office/hobby space with its own electric and propane lines.

Features:

– straw bale construction, which is energy-efficient, great sound insulation, and provides a warm, soft, feeling.

-very large functional kitchen with a long granite countertop. The dining area fits 10 people.

-natural construction, with solid maple floors in the middle and upper level, marmoleum floor in kitchen and oak floor in the lower level. The two small bedrooms have painted wood floors. The doors are all solid wood.

-large, functional, low maintenance patio area. Room for a table for eight and an additional sitting area. Propane hook ups for grills and smokers.

-mini split heat pump / air conditioner, although the house is well insulated and doesn’t need AC often. Propane stove backup for very cold days.
The tankless water heater, which is installed on the outer wall, does not take up room inside.

– Rosewind Cohousing has 25 families in houses on their own land (city lots) that forms a semi-circle around acres of grassy commons, a community garden, orchards, and a large well used Common House.
The Common House is used for pot lucks, movie nights, the Art Group, and the Daily Espresso Cafe every morning. It has a well-tuned Yamaha Piano as well as an espresso station. Outside groups hold choir practices, musical events, talks and presentations here.

– Rosewind is an easygoing community, and our members acknowledge the the community runs smoothly when people pitch in and participate to the best of their abilities.

– We are centrally located, 1 mile from beautiful Fort Worden State Park and the Centrum Organizatioon with its many musical events and workshops. We are 1 mile from Port Townsend’s beloved Food Coop, and less than 2 miles from Downtown and the waterfront and Boat Haven marina. The City Golf Course is a few blocks away.
