Welcome to the Camas Oasis, a private sanctuary nestled in the trees! Imagine yourself in a charming cottage home on 2.34 acres, just minutes from town, close to everything but with the sense of a private retreat on a gently sloped hill with filtered views. As you arrive at the property, you’re greeted by a sunny 30x45' fenced garden, waiting for your green thumb. Continuing upmthe drive you’ll encounter tall trees: mature Douglas fir, cedar, maple, oak, dogwood, magnolia, and fruit trees, which create a vibrant green canopy where birds and wildlife thrive, and where camas and fawn lilies bloom in the spring. From Hummingbirds and woodpeckers to Ospreys and Eagles, birds of all kinds have been visitors to these trees. The home is surrounded by a sunny and open yard with garden areas, and a large patio for outdoor living and entertaining. Inside you’ll find all the vintage charm and warmth of the cottage era, with coved ceilings, arched doorways, gorgeous hardwood floors, a brick hearth and woodstove, and windows everywhere, offering views of gardens and forests in every direction. You’ll appreciate the generously sized rooms, hand-milled chinquapin oak baseboards, classic built-ins, utility room storage, thermal window shades, and an inviting kitchen with a cozy dining nook. The back door opens into a light filled atrium leading to a 370 SF Bonus Room, which has a private entrance, slider to the patio, kitchenette, and the 2nd bathroom, offering so much potential. Other features of the home: wheelchair accessible entrance, 20x24 garage/shop, several sheds, tons of parking, and a well maintained gravel driveway. Many recent upgrades and improvements, including roof and gutters, plumbing, interior and exterior paint, LED light fixtures. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
