Elevated craftsmanship and intentional artistry in the design define this 1,733 sq ft mountain-beach chalet, built in 2019 with a timeless and inviting aesthetic. Thoughtfully curated materials, textures, and colors create a home that feels both sophisticated and effortless, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings as Neahkahnie Mountain rests majestically in view. Five distinct woods—Western Red Cedar, Red Oak, Hemlock, Douglas Fir, and Sugar Pine were incorporated throughout the home, adding warmth and depth. Sugar pine from a single tree was milled into kitchen cabinets, trim, and baseboards, with live-edge window sills preserving the raw beauty of the outer trunk. Red Oak hardwood floors feature an inlaid nautical compass at the heart of the home, pointing true north and representing the energy center of the home. Quartzite stone adds organic texture, from the exterior wainscot and entryway to the wood stove surround, kitchen backsplash, and shower shelves. The countertops are a mix of composite quartz, with the upstairs bath featuring a striking solid slab of white quartzite, complete with natural weathering. Designed for comfort and functionality, the main level includes a bedroom, full bath, laundry, and an open kitchen, living, and dining area. Upstairs, a second spacious bedroom and full bath offer privacy, while the loft—featuring an openable skylight and extra mountain views—adds flexibility for sleeping space or a reading nook. A workshop provides a place for hands-on projects, extra storage, or whatever inspires you. Located in a peaceful neighborhood with a nearby trail leading to the beach, this home offers an ideal location, unique character and a deep sense of place.
