Here’s
a getaway home that’s
perfect for your family
or friends
for a couple of
days or a couple
of weeks. Perched above the beach on
the beautiful central Oregon coast, its three floors include 4
bedrooms,
2 baths, kitchens, dining room, living room
with
fireplace, and a
family room which opens to a patio
set above your very
private enclosed swimming
pool which is open and heated in the summer.
And there’s not just one room with a view;
all eight
look out over majestic spruce and
pine trees on to an unobstructed Pacific Ocean
vista.
The Hull House was designed by Richard Sundeleaf
and built in 1938 with an exterior of cedar
shakes, which ideally fits in with the locale.
Landscaping
on the front side includes a spacious lawn, indigenous trees, paths
and
rockery; on either side of the house lie flower gardens with set-aside
quiet sitting areas for reading and meditation; the westside’s
almost 180-degree ocean exposure area includes a lawn for volleyball,
badminton,
or croquet, and swings, teeter totters, and a protected area
with table and benches for picnics including a
large pot for open fire
roasting. Comfortable and relaxing, this area is especially recommended
for ocean gazing–nap taking is usually irresistible, but
be sure to waken in time for the beautiful sunsets.
Before you become
permanently ensconced in your own private and tranquil setting
we hasten to add that there are other pleasures you might want
to enjoy during your get away. How about a lush, nine-hole golf
course two minutes from your house? Interested in some ocean fishing
or
how
about a visit to the world famous aquarium or the nearby lighthouse
with hiking paths galore? There are restaurants for every budget
or taste, and exploring the historic bay waterfront is a must.
It shouldn’t
take you more than fifteen minutes
to get to any of these attractions,
but don’t forget you’ve got your own piece of deserted
beach and paradise waiting for you to return. And should you
need to touch base with the “real world” there is
free wifi.
OK – when
are you coming, and how do you get here? An easy two-hour drive
from the Willamette Valley, your getaway house is nestled in
the 100-year-old traditional and charming community just north
of Newport
called Agate Beach.
