Million-dollar homes from Agate Passage to forests
Shake siding decorates a mix of architecture built between the 1960s and 1990s, including Cape Cod and new traditional. Depending on a property’s acreage, list prices fall between $1 million and $2.2 million. Some lots along the water have private beaches and space for a pool. Inland, undeveloped, forested properties under an acre list between $230,000 and $350,000. With low housing turnover and scenic water vistas, Agate Point’s homes price above both the national and Bremerton metro area averages. “Agate Passage Bridge is nicknamed the ‘$600,000 bridge’ because, as soon as you cross it, homes are $600,000 more, though I would change that name to the million-dollar bridge because that’s more what it’s like now,” Sinclair-Bennett says.
