Sawdust Hill Private Retreat
Just Sold by Susan Grosten
Recently I had the honor of representing clients on the purchase of an heirloom farm in the heart of rural Poulsbo Washington. Known as Rose Tree, this bucolic place was once a Rhododendron Nursery. It is a shy ten incredible acres of lush, verdant, farmland in the heart of rural Poulsbo.
Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and windows flood the home with natural light. My clients were particularly pleased with this aspect of the home. many homes in rural Kitsap do not have the openness of the outdoors. Typically they are surrounded by vast trees that are too good to be taken down.
Because this was a farm for decades, the land was cleared long ago, and no trees were taken down in the last 50+ years to make this such a lovely, open landscape.
Features like hardwood floors, built-ins, gas fireplace, cherry kitchen cabinets, fresh paint, truly make this home warm and inviting.
The detached Studio offers flex space for guests and a home office, for the way we live now.
The wrap-around deck is an expansive space for entertaining outdoors and finding respite in the rare, open farmland landscape.
Lower level Family Room is fantastic for friends and family visiting from out of town.
This incredibly beautiful, private, and stylish home met all the markers for my clients. Competition for Buyers is tough right now, in a Seller’s market. I was able to guide my clients into this home and beat the competition, using my skills as a Certified Negotiation Expert.
I love finding the right home, in the right neighborhood, for the right price, for all of my clients. If you know anyone struggling to to purchase a home, I am here to help.

Bainbridge Island Studio Tour
December 3rd through December 5th 2021
The Bainbridge Island Studio Tour is a twice-annual, free, self-guided art show on Bainbridge Island, Washington. This is a fantastic opportunity to discover the beauty and craftsmanship of local, handmade art and do your holiday shopping for truly unique gifts.
With 40 juried artists, you’ll find quality, hand-crafted art where you can meet the artist and buy directly from them. This is the 38th year for the tour, which will take place in six local studios and community halls.
There are a variety of art mediums on display such as jewelry, pottery, paintings, fiber, mixed media, photography, and glass. The artists create original works, incorporating new methods, styles, and raw materials. Unique art forms include detailed paper cut designs, whimsical fairies and frogs, felted wearables, tall metal water towers, steam-bent wood, and repurposed metal yard art.
I have always enjoyed meeting the artists and discussing their work and vision in person. You are buying hand-crafted works of art, supporting the local economy, and helping artists to thrive.
As an ardent supporter of the local artists of Bainbridge Island, The Studio Tour is something I always look forward to, and I hope you will join me on tour!
