About This Home
Step back in time and fall in love with this enchanting, updated 1890 home perched on one of Cathlamet’s most generous city lots—offering rare elbow room and jaw-dropping panoramic views of the mighty Columbia River. The home shines with thoughtful modern updates that honor its historic soul: fresh paint, updated systems, and tasteful fixtures throughout. The newly updated kitchen is open concept with living space, while the separate living room leads to the sunroom, which would make a great studio or office with fantastic water views. Upstairs a luxurious primary suite retreat—complete with its own full second kitchen and a sauna—great for multi-generational living, guests, rental potential, or simply enjoying peaceful separation and river vistas from your bedroom windows. Outside, the extra-large, fully fenced yard is a true highlight: plenty of space for gardens, play, pets, outdoor dining. A detached 20×20' garage/shop provides excellent storage, workspace, or a hobby haven. Just a short stroll from charming downtown Cathlamet—known for its friendly locals, riverfront access, public marina, restaurants, art galleries, and community events. This is small-town Pacific Northwest living at its finest: quiet, scenic, and welcoming, yet only a scenic drive from larger amenities. A truly rare find in Wahkiakum County—historic beauty, modern comfort, generous space, and unbeatable river views. Properties like this don’t come around often!
