You've found the cutest storybook home tucked away in the small town of Vernonia, and NOT in the floodzone! A covered front porch welcomes you inside, where character & charm show up in every corner: refinished hardwood floors, classic wainscoting, & an oversized wood-framed window overlooking the trees. The floorplan flows into the dining area & a kitchen built for a cook, with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, abundant counter space, & storage galore, from deep drawers to a dedicated pantry wall. The main-level primary suite offers a private oasis with French doors, rustic closet accents, & a classic clawfoot tub, while a second main-floor bedroom & dedicated laundry round out this level.Upstairs, a third bedroom with a sloped ceiling & a spacious bonus room with a built-in bench nook, perfect as a reading area, office, or lounge, are connected by a flexible loft/hallway space. Updates include refinished hardwoods (2020), plus an updated heating system, water heater, & gas range (2024), along with updated electrical & lighting throughout.Outside, it's a true gardener's dream: an oversized lot surrounded by established plum, cherry, pear, apple, almond, peach, & crabapple trees. An impressive ~1,200 sq ft greenhouse offers endless opportunities, with a wood storage shed & dedicated vehicle/RV/boat storage rounding out the setup.Enjoy all that small-town living has to offer, from a nearby playground, skate park, & dog park to a lake, walking & biking trails, & L.L. Stub Stewart State Park. Grab a bite at local favorites like Blue House Café & The Black Iron Grill, or join in on parades & the annual Jamboree & Logging Show, a beloved summer tradition of small-town spirit, all just 15 minutes from Hwy 26, with the added peace of mind of being outside the flood plain.
