Great home on the Oregon coast, two miles from the ocean

This elegant architect-designed, multi-level 2,500+ square foot home with unusual design sits on 0.78 acres in a private cul-de-sac in a wooded, quiet neighborhood. Immaculate condition. Three bedrooms, office, and 3 baths. Zonal heating in every room. Liberal use of knotty pine, hardwood floors, tile, and Berber carpeting. Pella and Anderson double-paned windows and custom Hunter-Douglas shades. Six separate decks.

Large master suite with many windows, walk-in closet, bath with jetted Jacuzzi, and an expansive deck upstairs. Downstairs are two bedrooms, each with its own full bath--one with private entrance to the outside, office with built-in shelves and cabinets, telephone lines and cable modem (can be converted to another bedroom).

On the main floor are the kitchen with an island; solid-surface, self-cleaning JennAir electronic range with conventional/convection oven and downdraft; intimate breakfast area; large garden window; new granite countertops (2009); pull-out shelves; three pantries; built-in desk; and a half-bath.

Large Whitfield pellet stove heats living and dining areas. The raised formal dining room features two alcoves, a window seat with storage bench, and lots of windows. Two private decks with built-in planters and benches overlook the Japanese garden. French doors lead from living room to decks and glass panels shelter the upper deck from the wind. 

Fully fenced yard was landscaped by master gardener and includes front-and-back sprinklers on automatic timers, fruit trees, and raised beds. Wired-in lights on timer illuminate the driveway. Storage area under the house, with electricity already in, could be expanded for more storage, exercise room, hobby room, etc. The yard was featured in the August 3, 2005, edition of The World and is a gardener’s delight.

Security system; two hot water tanks; utility room; double garage with built-in workbench; and telephone and TV jacks in almost every room. Included in the sale price are washer and dryer and two refrigerators.

Seller may consider a lease option with excellent references, after April 1,2012, for a maximum of five years, to be renegotiated if home has not sold. The price was recently reduced from $399,000 to $380,000 for quick sale with no real estate commission.

The home is located about two miles from the ocean and five minutes away from downtown Florence.  Eugene, home of the University of Oregon, is approximately one hour away for shopping, cultural activities, and major hospitals and clinics.
