Clatskanie is a picturesque town in the forested hills and green valleys of PNW's coastal range. Enter through the secret garden to a spacious Craftsman Colonial Foursquare. While updated, this restoration preserves the design sensibilities of the era. A traditional foyer leads right to a formal living and dining room with built-ins, French and pocket doors, pristine woodwork and wide baseboards. Left is an eat-in Victorian farmhouse-style chef's kitchen with glass-front cabinets, double oven, hooded gas stove, ample counter space, and traditional pantry. There are two baths on the main; one features a huge shower. A traditional staircase leads to five spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Our home offers 1-gig internet speed and networked in-wall cat 6 ethernet. An attic with skylight awaits your ideas for further expansion and there?s a HUGE finished basement featuring five more big areas: laundry, task room, loads of storage potential, two hard-wired ethernet points, game room, pegboard workshop. A beautifully landscaped exterior features an irrigated organic kitchen garden, raised beds, critter covers, and potting table. Hang your hammock in the vining shady corner of the sunny back deck, explore a little north-side forest, stroll winding paths in the sunny rose and flower garden, enjoy traditional and native plants bordering a lawn big enough for croquet. Birdwatch among successive seasonal hydrangeas, dahlias, columbine, hollyhocks, lilacs, daisies, trillium. Enjoy strawberry, raspberry, thimbleberry, lavender, creeping thyme, oregano, feverfew, and rosemary. There?s a small barn big enough for an art studio or storage for garden tools and bikes. Minutes to the library, farmer?s market, live music, restaurants, coffee shops, schools and amenities.
