Private, woodsy, west-coast RANCHER near Lost Lake with 16'-high vaulted ceiling and WIDE OCEAN VIEWS! Quiet no-thru-road, level driveway, huge 700+sqft garage, loads of yellow cedar decking with open-air solarium, private garden areas, good drainage, thick hardwood flooring, 200 amps of service, and a big open living space with clerestory windows that heat the big brick chimney (passive solar design). The main bedroom suite has a view, an ensuite with shower, and access to the deck; the second bedroom is large and south-facing. Behind the open kitchen are two tile-floor rooms that could be re-connected: a dedicated dining room with great ocean views, and a family room or study with skylight, built-in shelving, an exterior door, and a stained glass window. The big central chimney has been confirmed good for a wood-burning insert, and the home has a heat pump and electric baseboards. A convenient crawlspace is accessible from the garage or from below the deck. You'll love these views.
