Revel in the magical masterpiece vistas of the mighty Columbia River Gorge from this vintage getaway on Larch Mountain. Do you enjoy the views from the Vista House? Wait until you see this! Built in 1935, this home is architected for views from virtually every room; the visuals soothe and amaze all who enter. Sitting on the shoulder of the ancient volcano that is Larch Mountain, you'll enjoy majestic seclusion while just 30 minutes from PDX and 45 minutes from Downtown Portland. Like the lodge lounge at Timberline, the ample salon to the right embraces your family and friends to drink in the serenity. To the left you'll find another sumptuous seating area with pellet stove river rock fireplace, formal dining room and a modern kitchen with it's own dining area. Two suites upstairs complete the dream. A separate groovy movie cabin keeps the kids happy and out from underfoot. Don't miss the two car garage with unfinished space above. Outstanding recreation surrounds; mushroom hunting on Larch Mountain, skiing on Mt. Hood, wine tasting in Hood River and White Salmon, fishing on the Columbia and Sandy Rivers. Great dining options down the hill at Sugarpine, Lolo's Pizza and McMenamins Edgefield. Several upgrades during this owners watch (ask your Realtor for a list posted in MLS). Appliances: Samsung Range/Oven (SmartThings), Panasonic M/W, Whirlpool D/W, Bosch Refrigerator, KitchenAid 2nd Oven, Kraus sink. Some historical records indicate that all the wood for the construction was milled on site, also notes the presence of some Batchelder tile (1930's Arts & Crafts Movement). Is this your second home?
