The first thing you’ll notice when you enter this stunning home are the sweeping views of Tillamook Head, Ecola State Park and the Tillamook Head Lighthouse. Almost every room in the house offers these dramatic views.

From the front entry hall, you step into a warm and welcoming living room, complete with a gas fireplace, large flat-screen TV and a sound bar. With two inviting couches and two armchairs, you’ll find plenty of room to enjoy the fire and take in those views.

Off to the left of the living room is the generous dining room. Ten dining chairs and two end-armchairs provide plenty of seating to enjoy a leisurely dinner, and if more seating is needed there’s a built-in booth and table just to the side near the kitchen.

Speaking of the kitchen: how to begin to describe this magnificent space. Family and friends will gather around the huge island to offer advice to the cook while snacking on treats and drinking wine. This kitchen offers so much space, the chef of the day can organize several work stations and put people to work! A large refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and a substantial gas cook top/oven will please even a professional chef.

Just next to the kitchen is the sizable mudroom/laundry room. Lots of space to leave outerwear, and it’s easy to bring the beach towels back from the beach and straight into laundry.

On the other side of the main floor is the first of two master bedrooms. This lovely room has a king bed, large flat screen TV, gas fireplace, and a private deck with marvelous views - just the spot to indulge in a little pampering. The attached master bath has two sinks, a glass-wall shower, large soaking tub, and separate toilet room right next to a large walk-in closet.

Heading upstairs your first stop is the second master bedroom at the top of the stairs on the right. This oversized master not only has a king bed, but a charming red twin sleigh bed perfect for a nap or a little one that needs to be near mom and dad. The attached master bath has a spa-like feel with twin sinks, soaking tub, glass wall shower, and toilet. And did we mention the view?

Next up is the perfect spot to watch a game, read a good book, or just grab a little quiet time: The Media Room. Spend time losing yourself in the view – these expansive windows have the best view in the house. But don’t forget to enjoy the other pleasures found in this room:  a large flat screen TV, books on the shelves, comfy seating and a chaise lounge aimed right at that view. You may never leave. If you have a larger group and need additional sleeping, the couch here does double duty as a sofa bed.

Back upstairs you will find two identical but separate bedrooms. Both have queen beds, and each one has a built-in twin bed for a great lounging spot or additional sleeping if you have a large group. One bedroom faces the ocean and the second one has forest views. Close by is a spacious hall bathroom done in green and white.

The last stop on the house tour is the game room/hangout room. Just off the mudroom/laundry room is a staircase that leads to the game room, located above the attached garage of the main house. This room is ready for fun with a foosball table, comfy couches, kitchenette, flat screen TV, and an attached bathroom. With four twin beds and a sofa sleeper, this is another room you may never leave.

Now let’s check out the guest house which is just down the driveway. The front door opens to a staircase and at the top is a wonderful oversized great room. With two couches and a flat screen TV, it’s the perfect entertainment spot. Right next to that is a four-chair conversation pit - the ideal place for a glass of wine after a day of beachcombing. Next up is the dining table and chairs, and the kitchen. The kitchen has a large refrigerator, microwave oven, dishwasher, and toaster oven. No regular stove, but everything else is right at your fingertips. The best part of this great room is the windows that run all along the west wall, and the views which rival anything the main house offers (they might even be a little better!)

On the east side of the room is a small hall leading to one bathroom and two bedrooms. The first spacious bedroom has a queen bed, and the second offers a queen bed and a set of bunk beds for larger groups.  A sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleep space.
