A rare find, this cozy yet spacious four bedroom, one and a half bath custom home sits on a fully fenced, nearly one acre lot that offers genuine privacy and plenty of room to spread out. Main level living keeps the primary suite, kitchen, and laundry all within easy reach, and thoughtful updates throughout, including double paned windows, ductless minisplit heating and cooling, and a gas fireplace in the living area, make the home comfortable in every season. The kitchen is a standout, with an oversized butcher block island, patterned tile backsplash, corrugated metal wainscoting, and a cozy breakfast nook tucked beside a garden window. Bedrooms throughout offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, including one finished with a playful forest mural accent wall. A wrap around deck creates seamless indoor and outdoor flow, leading out to a spacious backyard with plenty of room for a fire pit, garden beds, chickens, or simply enjoying your own private slice of the Gorge. A stone fire pit and string lighting are already in place for evening gatherings. The 40 by 40 foot detached shop (1,600 square feet) is built for serious use, with an attached office or craft space, a separate electrical panel, high ceilings, a wood stove, built in cabinetry, and rough in plumbing for a future bathroom. An attached, open sided addition on the shop provides covered outdoor storage for equipment, building materials, and more. A true oasis, and your gateway to the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Adams wilderness.
BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM HOME WITH GREAT SHOP! Newly remodeled kitchen, large pantry and main bath. Brand new hot water heater, electrical outlets and light switches. New upstairs carpet, fresh paint in much of the home, and exterior paint less than 5 years old. Wrap around Ipe decking-added value!
