Ketron Island Home Is Secluded But Close: Pierce County Real Estate

Have you ever thought about living on Ketron Island? What is Ketron Island? Take a look at this week's Wow! House to find out.

STEILACOOM, WA - Ketron Island sounds like something out of a Superman comic book (the name is apparently a misspelling of the word "Kittson"). But it's a real place, and it's really close by. Ketron Island is located in Puget Sound between Anderson Island and Steilacoom. It's only about a 10 minute ferry ride to Steilacoom, but the island is so small and sparsely populated (17 people live there), it can feel like you're much farther from civilization.

This rather sizeable home is located in the center of the island, but because the island is so small, it's about a one-minute walk to the shoreline.

  • Price: $315,000
  • Square Feet: 2791
  • Bedrooms: 3
