Tucked behind a private gated drive in desirable Dows Prairie, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath A-frame feels like a hidden retreat. Soaring cedar ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows and French doors bring warmth and natural light throughout. A downstairs bonus room offers flexibility as a possible 4th bedroom, office or den. Upstairs, the primary suite captures west-facing ocean glimpses and beautiful sunsets on clear days. Set on approximately .46 acre with a generous garden area, outdoor living space and storage, sheltered from the coastal wind with a peaceful country feel just minutes from town and the coast.
