This quality well-maintained home is situated on a quiet near acre lot in the highly desirable Crystal Creek neighborhood in Silverdale WA. Though just minutes from top rated Central Kitsap schools, the Bangor Subase (South Trigger Avenue gate), and the popular Kitsap Mall, this 3 Bedroom 2.5 bath home offers Pacific Northwest rural living at its finest.
Located off Old Frontier Road on Hosman Circle, Crystal Creek is predominantly a Chaffey-built development of 40 homes started in the early 1990's.
All homes are served by a community well locally operated by Washington Water Supply. Unlimited water usage costs homeowners a flat fee of $44 per month.
Due to the ample level lot sizes, each individual property in Crystal Creek has its own private gravity flow septic system.
Electricity and natural gas is provided by Puget Sound Energy and Cascade Natural Gas, respectively.
Wavecable Broadband is the sole supplier of cable television and Internet services to the area, although some residents elect to utilize DSL or Satellite carriers.
While there is a Crystal Creek Homeowner's Association and By-Laws ($35 annual fee), true pride of ownership comes across in the way residents consistently maintain their properties, and the safe, quality of life that is enjoyed by the members of the neighborhood.
4354 NW Hosman Circle is located about halfway down Hosman Circle on the right-hand side of the street (highest elevation in the community). The previous owners hired a professional landscaping company to install a beautiful custom rock retaining wall.
There is a plush cultivated lawn area to the western side of the property, and a seasonal creek that connects to popular Crystal Creek, a salmon spawning tributary which eventually feeds into Dyes Inlet. A large portion of the property consists of native Rhododendrons, and tall Pine and Cedar trees.
The home was originally built in 1990 and is constructed of highly-desired natural Cedar siding. There is a covered front patio area and large rear deck. A 10X12 storgage shed contains all of your yard maintenance tools and equipment.
The ample 2-car attached garage comes with added space for a workbench and has a pull-down ladder to access an additional attic storage area.
The tile vaulted entry way provides an elegant greeting for your visitors. The step-down formal living room is just to your right, and the main floor half-bath to your left.
Straight ahead, the hallway gives way to hardwood floors and the Island Kitchen/Family Great Room. A Dining Nook overlooks the wooded backyard. The large working Island Kitchen has quality Silestone counters and generous cabinetry. A tile surround gas fireplace provides cozy, efficient heat during the Winter months.
The formal Dining Room has stylish coffered ceilings and bay windows.
Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a shared Full Bath, and a hallway that leads to the Master Suite/Master Bath.
The Master Suite has a Bay Window Sitting area. The 5-piece Master Bath includes an over-sized jetted tub, double-sink vanity, shower, and skylight.
Elementary age children are picked up every morning at the driveway of their homes and transported to nearby Clear Creek Elementary. Junior High and High School age students wait for their buses at the end of Hosman Circle. Both Central Kitsap Junior High and Central Kitsap High schools are only minutes away.

Just down Old Frontier Road is Trigger Avenue, with access to the South gate of Bangor Subase and Hwy. 3.
Silverdale WA is the retail mecca for the entire Kitsap Peninsula and West Sound area. The Kitsap Mall is a popular shopping destination with stores such as Macy's, Sears, J.C. Penneys, and Kohls. Most of all the Big Box stores have locations in Silverdale as well, including Costco, Home Depot, and Best Buy.
Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound, the Kitsap Peninsula is only a short ferry boat ride to Seattle, the Emerald City. To the west, the majestic Olympic Mountains rise up from the shores of the scenic Hood Canal, a popular recreational waterway.
Whether you're being transfered to a new duty station here in Kitsap County WA, looking to escape the traffic and crowds of the East Side, need more space for your growing family, or want a great place to retire, this quality home in preferred Crystal Creek Silverdale WA is the perfect place to call home!

Few things in life are better than watching your own kids participate in athletic competition.
Especially when their team wins!....
Alright, I know, winning isn't everything,.... but it sure beats losing!....
For the past several years, our youngest son, Luke, has played football. He was involved in our local Silverdale Pee Wee Football league for 3 years. In his last year, he was the starting quareterback.
When he played for Central Kitsap Junior High here in Silverdale WA, he was fortunate to earn the starting quarterback postion for both his 8th and 9th grade years.
Now in his first year at Central Kitsap High School, things are a bit different. The school is larger, there are more students, and sports are much more competitive. There are two teams - the Varsity Squad, and the Junior Varsity Squad. For the Varsity home games, everyone suits up and stands along the sidelines. But unless we're ahead by a gazillion points, the Senior and Junior starters are the only ones playing. At the Junior Varsity games, most of the remaining Juniors and Sophmores get the opportunity to rotate in.
And so it's been a year of change, struggle, and adjustment. Instead of being the primary 'Go-to-Guy' Luke has been relegated to the 3rd-string Sophmore dweeb back-up. In order to get more playing time, he's learned to play strong safety on defense. A few weeks ago, he scored his first high school touchdown when he recovered a blocked kick and ran it into the end zone.
Last week, while on defense, he intercepted a pass that set-up for a score. He later went in as quarterback and led the team down the field, where he threw his first high school touchdown pass!
Still, most of the time, he's either on defense, or watching someone else take the snaps.
We've had a number of great Father/Son conversations in the car on the way home after his games. I always try to say something encouraging and how proud I am of him. He's usually more concerned about whether or not I'm going to stop by Taco Bell.
Playing high school football is a lot like living life when you're grown up. It takes hard work to succeed. Things are rarely handed to you, you have to earn them through commitment and solid effort. Life isn't always fair. Sometimes you get passed over. Someone else gets promoted before you. You can become bitter and complain, or you can focus on becoming better. You learn the importance of contributing to the success of the team, rather than simply being concerned on what's in in for me.
But for now, I just enjoy watching my son play, and I'm proud of the man he's becoming.

Okay, so I did something for the very first time the other day.
I sent a letter to an elected official. Actually, I sent it to several of our elected officials here in Washington State.
Although I have always been a very faithful voter and take that privilege quite seriously, I’ve never felt overly passionate about a particular issue enough to warrant penning any correspondence.
Until now.....
