This Lienenweber Lake Estates home is meant to be enjoyed
There’s not much reason to leave Lienenweber Lake Estates
in West Warrenton, especially when living there is like being on
vacation year-round.
The community’s natural beauty is enhanced with the amenities
found in the Lienenweber Lake Estates home listed with broker
Pam Ackley, of Windermere Realty Trust.
With views of Lienenweber Lake from nearly every window, a
closed-in sun porch, a recreation room featuring a hot tub, plus
1.28 acres of trees and meadows, the home is meant to be enjoyed.
If there’s a need to house vehicles, the home has that covered,
too: It includes a two-car garage and another RV garage that could
easily fit six cars.
There’s also plenty of room for hobbies in the 682-square-foot
shop with built-in shelves.
The 3,498-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home
at 1360 S.W. Pine Drive (off of Delaura Beach Road) is priced at
$675,000.
A quiet community tucked among the trees, lakes and meadows
in West Warrenton, the 62-acre Lienenweber Lake Estates offers a
variety of home styles, where families, professionals and retirees
live. They enjoy canoeing and kayaking on several small lakes
in the area or hiking on trails leading to Fort Stevens State Park,
Coffenbury Lake and the ocean near the Peter Iredale shipwreck.
“This is a custom-built home in an upscale, secluded community
that most people don’t even know is here,” said Ackley, who
is a local resident. “It’s just an absolute delight to live in this
neighborhood. It’s a tight-knit neighborhood where people look
out for each other but also respect people’s privacy.”
The home’s views start at the front door. A full wall of windows
in the living and dining rooms capture the scene of lake, trees and a
yard landscaped with native plants.
Another set of windows in the year-round enclosed sunporch
adds to the feeling of being outdoors while still inside. Skylights
bring more sunshine into the long room.
Local builder Russ Taggart made sure there was abundant
storage in the kitchen when he constructed the home in 1999.
In addition to the cherry wood cabinets surrounding the long
counter, there are cabinets and drawers in the island, as well as
floor-to-ceiling enclosed cabinets on one wall. The kitchen also has
stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove.
Wake up to a view of the lake and woods from the master
bedroom, adjacent to the sunporch. The master bath contains a
clawfoot tub as well as a walk-in shower with a rain shower head.
Another two bedrooms are on the main floor, including one that
opens into an enclosed front porch, where kids can play on a rainy
day, or some quiet time can be spent with a book.
The back porch could become a mud room; it contains a sink,
counter top and another set of floor-to-ceiling cabinets. A full
bathroom with a large walk-in shower is at the end of the hall.
Downstairs, the daylight basement includes a bedroom, a full
bathroom with a shower and a large carpeted great room that is
plumbed and wired for an efficiency kitchen or wet bar,. The space
could be used as a separate living area for relatives or guests.
Adjacent to the great room is another room with a hot tub,
which overlooks the lake and yard. The downstairs opens onto one
of the home’s three decks.
While Lienenweber Lake Estates is snuggled among the trees,
away from the bustle of town, it is only minutes from shops and
restaurants in Warrenton or along U.S. Highway 101.
“There’s nothing like this,” Ackley said. “There are no gates, no
HOA fees. Everyone takes care of each other here.”
