The eastern gateway to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area awaits at this light-filled home in The Dalles, where walls of picture windows frame beautiful views of the river and the surrounding landscape. Enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation. This two-story home is located on the east side of The Dalles, just over two miles from the center of town. It's the perfect home base for hiking, biking, and taking scenic drives, with the full splendor of the Gorge easily accessible to the east. Hike Coyote Wall and Mosier Plateau (18 miles), spend a day windsurfing and orchard-hopping in Hood River (25 miles), or visit The Dalles Dam (three miles) and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center (eight miles) closer to home. Wherever your days take you, this bright, updated home is a delight to return to. The open, window-lined living space is upstairs on the second floor, bringing together a polished kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breezy dining area, and a comfortable living room with a TV. You never need take your eyes off the view, whether you're sharing snacks at the island breakfast bar or curling up on the sofa for a good movie. Bring each evening to a close outside on the ground-floor patio, where you can marvel at star-filled skies. There's one bedroom on the ground floor (with direct patio access), an additional sleeping space adjoining the garage, and two bedrooms upstairs, including one with a desk workspace overlooking the river. Central air, complimentary WiFi, and a washer/dryer are on hand as well. THINGS TO KNOW Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.
