About This Home

As of November 2023

This beautiful home is a fisherman's paradise! Enjoy the serene waterfront setting with few neighbors and just minutes off I-5! You'll love entertaining in the remodeled kitchen with tile floors, quartz-style counters, new cabinets and appliances. Gorgeous, restored hardwood floors throughout. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams give it extra charm. French doors welcome you to the wrap-around deck with your own private view of the Kalama River. The loft area is a perfect reading nook or additional bedroom space. The insulated and heated shed is perfect for an art/yoga studio or office space. There's room to add a garage on the poured pad with power already installed. A little slice of paradise on the river with a close-in location!
