Rare opportunity to own this extremely well maintained 2 acre property, steeped in Washougal history. Extending up from the Washougal River, atop an expansive park-like yard sits this historic blue beauty; affectionately known as, “Doc Stefan's House.” This property has sat watch as Washougal grew around it. As growth is inevitable, there is an opportunity for subdivision of this property.(MLS 640815041) Come up the tree lined driveway and embrace the grandeur as you take the steps up to the huge wrap around covered porch. Stroll inside to appreciate the original hardwoods,built-ins and craftsmanship that abounds.Lovingly updated and renovated over time to marry yesterday’s charm with todays amenities. Flow through the main floor's formal dining, living, kitchen, eating nook & butlers pantry (originally the homes kitchen) out to the attached indoor pool that feels outdoors w/ the large glass surround. Head back into the main house and upstairs via the dual accessed staircase to the 3 bedrooms and enormous primary ensuite with its own patio & exterior staircase to the pool. Down the hallway, past the spacious full bath, on the west end is the enclosed sun room overlooking the most charming, quaint (older than the home) white barn. It continues to stand strong, overseeing the memories made in this home.Oh, if walls could talk.
