Set on a quiet street in Neahkahnie, 8185 Nehalem Rd offered a custom coastal home with warmth, craftsmanship, and a thoughtful connection to its natural surroundings. When the architect asked for three words to guide the design, the inspiration was clear: artistic, peaceful, and cozy. The finished home reflected that beautifully.
Built in 2007, the home featured 3 bedrooms, 3 total baths, and 1,826 square feet of living space on a 9,147-square-foot lot. Located just two level blocks from the beach and adjacent to green space, the property offered a rare balance of beach proximity, privacy, and natural beauty.
South-facing windows filled the home with light and framed views of seasonally changing greens, with even glimpses of wildlife from the surrounding landscape. Inside, natural materials, fine craftsmanship, high ceilings, passive solar design, wood floors, and thoughtful details gave the home its distinctive character.
The kitchen included a built-in range, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, downdraft, granite, island, microwave, and stainless steel appliances. A wood-burning fireplace added warmth and atmosphere, creating an inviting place to gather after a day at the beach.
With public water, zoned heat, driveway and off-street parking, a level lot, and greenbelt surroundings, 8185 Nehalem Rd offered a deeply appealing Neahkahnie lifestyle: peaceful, walkable, beautifully crafted, and close to the sand.
