1910 Port Angeles Fixer with Orchard, Creek View, and Two Outbuildings — $109,000

The orchard is the first thing. Apple, pear, plum, and flowering quince trees on an in-town lot in Port Angeles. That alone is unusual. Valley Creek runs along the street out front, so you have moving water as your front view. For a city lot, this one has a lot going on outside.

The house is 898 square feet, built in 1910, and it is mid-renovation. That means the interior is opened up. The structural work has been done and permitted: the house was leveled, rotten beams were replaced, and a new concrete footing and crib wall were poured. There is permitted temporary electrical service. The bones have been addressed. What remains is everything else, which is most of it.

This is a project property. Two bedrooms, one bath, and a gut situation on the inside. If you are looking for a house to move into, this is the wrong listing. If you are looking for something to finish yourself, the permits are in order and the scary structural work is behind you.

The lot has two outbuildings. One is set up for laundry and extra refrigeration. There is also a travel trailer connected to utilities that may convey with the sale. So while the house is a construction site, the property has functional infrastructure around it.

Downtown Port Angeles is walkable from here. The waterfront, shops, and services are close. Port Angeles is a real town with year-round population, a ferry connection to Victoria, and the Olympic Peninsula at its back door. This is not a remote situation. You are in the city, on a lot that happens to have an orchard and a creek view.

At $109,000, you are buying a 1910 house that needs to be finished and a piece of land that is doing more than most in-town lots. The price reflects the work ahead. Whether that math works depends entirely on what you are willing to put in and what you can do yourself.
