9835 NE Rose Trail Lane

Some homes just feel right the moment you arrive. This is one of them. This 2003 New England-style custom home sits on nearly an acre of completely flat, beautifully maintained grounds in Eagledale -- one of Bainbridge Island's most cherished south-end neighborhoods, sitting directly adjacent to Eagledale Park. Tennis courts, volleyball, an off-leash dog area, a pottery studio, and Mount Rainier views on a clear day -- all just steps from your door. The home shows with obvious pride of ownership: freshly repainted inside and out, new roof, carpet, hot water tank, and a fully remodeled 2026 primary bath with walk-in shower, soaking tub, new vanity and tile. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, connecting formal and informal spaces naturally. A sunny kitchen and breakfast area, main-floor office and bonus room, and three bedrooms up round out a floor plan that simply works. Outside, the flat, partially fenced grounds offer winding paths, a shed, a chicken coop structure ready and waiting, and exceptional gardening potential -- the kind of space that inspired the move to Bainbridge in the first place. Room to grow things. Room to breathe. The south end trail network connects to Fort Ward and Blakely Harbor parks. The marina is nearby for boaters and paddlers. The bus to the ferry is a short, easy ride. Winslow's shops and farmers market are just minutes away. A warm community, wonderful neighbors, and a home that is ready to be loved again.
