Wrangle In - Winthrop, WA (View on Map)

This is a local Winthrop home right in town, just above the old west boardwalk, one street up. This house was built in 1955 and retains that old mid-century charm. The upstairs bedrooms feature the ever-so-popular 50's knotty pine paneling. The living room is cozy with a coffered ceiling. The stairs are narrow and steep with a handrail. The kitchen has been modernized, but still maintains some of the sense of Grandma's house. "Out back', through the back door is a deck on the north side of the house, with picnic tables and Weber gas BBQ.

Recently, the house has been refreshed and updated. Gardens and lawns are being nurtured. Fresh paint. New furniture and beds. The whole works. The housekeeper recently told us that she used to live here 15 years ago, and her recollection was of a vegetable garden in the back yard. Perhaps that may get restored with her help. Meanwhile there is a sense of pride here.

The main floor has a shared living room and dining table. Kitchen is on the right, with a laundry area behind the kitchen and passage way to the rear. There is a larger queen bedroom and full bath on the main floor. Up the stairs are two dormer bedrooms and 3/4 bath.
