An Anker I. Molver-designed, mid-century “masterpiece” featuring floor-to-ceiling fir paneling, soaring ceilings, and period art and furnishings by Gaetano Sciolari, Robyn Denny, and others.

Set on 27 private acres, paths wind through gardens, sculptural installations and a working lavender farm.

Located a ferry ride away from Seattle on the Kitsap Peninsula between Bainbridge Island and Olympic National Park, we are a quintessentially Pacific Northwest setting for getaways and celebrations.

The space
A beautiful natural setting for a self-care retreat or private getaway.

Fans of Pacific Northwest mid-century design love the residence, which was designed by an architect with roots in Norway and Japan from Douglas-fir timbers milled on-site.

Guests describe the house as an “architectural delight” with “beautiful touches throughout,” and the grounds as “gorgeous and spacious” (the word “magical” has been used more than once).

Kingston House has been updated with modern comforts while respecting its architectural integrity.
