Jewel Box | White Salmon, WA

Nestled on .36 acres of spacious terraced landscaping, stone patios, large basalt boulders and a hot tub with a view creates a meditative space to relax. A discerning eye will enjoy the interior with hand-crafted joinery, massive beams with dowel, and peg fastenings. The 2-foot thick walls are made of straw bales covered in stucco on the lower level and old cedar heartwood barn siding on the exterior of the upper floor.

Radiant floor heat ensures the acid-stained concrete tile floors are warm to bare feet. Windows that open keep a cool breeze flowing in the summer. The 2-foot thick walls insulate for sound and help the house stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

There is a quiet office space in the detached garage that has heat, a desk, a queen bed and storage space. There is no bathroom in this structure. The garage attached to the house is locked for owner storage.

There is parking for 2 cars at the end of the 100-foot private driveway. From the quiet neighborhood, it is a very short walk to downtown White Salmon.
