This spacious (3,893 sqft) two-level custom-designed Lindal Cedar Home (Classic Prow Star) has sweeping ocean views. Fronting on the ocean it provides easy access to the Yachats River estuary for surfing, kayaking and canoeing or just strolling on the beach. And, all within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and galleries of Yachats. Built in 2001 and meticulously maintained, this contemporary 2 bed/3 bath home plus office/den, loft and fitness room also has a lower-level guest apartment. Solid oak flooring, soaring valuated ceilings and floor to ceiling windows highlight the first level. The home features an open floor plan. Entry to the first level is through an attached two-car garage into a fully-equipped laundry room (new Crosley washer/dryer, large sink, cabinets and coat closet). This leads directly into the large kitchen with center island, skylights, gas cooktop with hood, greenhouse window over the double ceramic sink, granite countertops, modern appliances (new GE refrigerator and microwave/convection oven), walk-in pantry and breakfast bay with ocean view. From the kitchen one enters the large (32 x 28 foot), high (24 feet) vaulted great room with foyer, native stone gas fireplace, formal dining area and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unmatched views of ocean and sky. Also, on the first level is a home office/den (or 3rd bedroom) and adjoining, updated tiled bath with glass-paneled, step-in shower. A loft entertainment center overlooks the great room providing expansive views of the ocean as well as magnificent sunsets, and on starlit nights lights of Yachats across the bay. Finally, at the end of a short hallway is the luxurious primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet, work area, tiled bath with jacuzzi and custom shower. To complete the scene, French doors open onto a covered porch with a 3-person Marquis hot tub facing the ocean for relaxing. The lower level can be reached via the stairway from the great room or through an outside entry. It consists of a one-bedroom (1,000 sqft) family or guest apartment, a fully equipped fitness room (300 sqft) and adjoining (200 sqft) storage room with shelving. The apartment includes a living room, bedroom, large walk-in closet, kitchenette and a tiled full bath with tub and shower. Special features of this home include protected ocean views from all front-facing windows; hardwood (oak) floors throughout the first level and matching carpeting of the stairways to the loft and lower level as well as the entire apartment. In addition, doorways, hallways and stairways are extra wide (36 inches) for easy passage, and all showers have detached shower heads. Located on two lots, this “forever home” has two covered front porches and a rear patio as well as a new (2023), large (24 x 25 foot) cedar plank deck above the garage affording commanding views of the ocean as well as a wonderful place for late afternoon get-togethers. The garage is wired for Level 2 charger and the concrete pad in front of it provides secluded, 3-vehicle, off-street parking. In 2019 the roof was replaced with Padco Paramount Advantage heavy-weight shingles and all exterior cedar siding stripped and re-stained in 2022. Landscaping has been extensive and ongoing in both front and back yards with perennial plants selected to bloom at various times of the year. A new backyard cedar board, privacy fence completes the picture. This truly is a home to live in forever.
