Simply DuPont - 1985 Braget St, Dupont

An Easy Place to Call Home in DuPont

There’s a lot to love about a home that provides just enough space without asking for much in return. The home at 1985 Braget in DuPont fits that description well. With 2 bedrooms, 2.25 bathrooms, 1,152 square feet, a fully fenced yard, and a detached 2-car garage, it offers a comfortable alternative to apartment living.

As a first home, a downsizing move, or simply a shift toward a lower-maintenance lifestyle, this one makes a lot of sense.

The Big Updates Are Already Done

Some of the best features of a home aren’t the flashy ones, they’re the improvements that make ownership easier for years to come.

In 2026, the house and detached garage received new roofs, along with new windows throughout the house and a new dishwasher. The garage door was replaced in 2023. Inside, laminate flooring on the main level is practical for everyday life, and the conveniently located Bosch stacking washer and condensation dryer is a clever addition that doesn’t require exterior dryer venting.

Together, these updates create something increasingly valuable, a move-in ready home.

Outdoor Space Without High Maintenance

Outside, the 2,827-square-foot lot continues the low maintenance theme. The fully fenced yard provides private outdoor space without turning weekends into a landscaping project. There’s room to relax outside, garden, let a dog roam, or gather with friends.

The detached, 2-car garage adds meaningful storage and flexibility for vehicles, bikes, outdoor gear, a home gym, or fun projects.

Life in DuPont

The home itself is only part of the story. DuPont has developed a strong following for its combination of small-town scale, outdoor spaces, community events, and convenient access to the rest of the South Sound.

Much of town is connected by sidewalks, over 12 miles of trails, community and neighborhood parks, and green spaces. It’s a town where it’s easy to get outside for a walk, bike ride, and time with neighbors. Local parks offer third spaces where friends gather for potlucks during perfect summer days.

Clocktower Park serves as one of the community’s central gathering spots and hosts seasonal events throughout the year like the 4th of July Parade and Pancake Breakfast, the annual Hudson Bay BBQ Cookoff, the DuPont Farmer’s Market, and live music. The city’s parks and trail system provide plenty of opportunities to get outside, while the Sequalitchew Creek Trail is a favorite for a walk through the woods and down to the Puget Sound.

DuPont also has a compact town center with everyday services, restaurants, coffee, and gathering places. Some local favorites include the following.

Less House. More Life.

1985 Braget offers a combination that can be surprisingly difficult to find. It’s a true, single-family home with a fenced yard and 2-car garage without the square footage and upkeep of a much larger property.

The important updates have been addressed, the outdoor space is manageable, the floor plan provides flexibility without excess, and the DuPont location puts everything within easy reach.

For a first home, a downsizing move, or anyone who has decided that more freedom and more time to enjoy life are the goals, 1985 Braget offers a refreshingly practical way to live in DuPont.
