In 1906, Theodore B. Wilcox, a wealthy businessman living in Portland, OR, built his oceanfront home in Seaview, WA amongst other beach cottages of the Portland affluent. Many homes in this cute little historic pocket are dated back to the late 1800's. Quiet streets lead to the Seaview beach entrance where you can drive your car out onto Long Beach to enjoy clamming, perch fishing and beautiful sunsets.
One can imagine while standing on one of the three the expansive porches of the Manor how this six bedroom home, complete with 10' ceilings, large ballroom, 2 stairwells, 2 fireplaces was once enjoyed. Nearly everything in the home is original, although the kitchen is now equipped with modern appliances, two refrigerators and freezers and indoor plumbing with 2 ½ bathrooms.
When the jetty was completed where the mouth of the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean the sand moved in and filled in about a 1/4 mile between the Seaview Manor House and the beach. There is now a large pond where the ocean stood where swallows dive, ducks thrive and the local black bears can be found on occasion sauntering by. The sounds of the ocean complete the serene experience surrounded by Washington State forest, just off Hwy 101.
Erica and Dustin spent 2020 restoring the Seaview Manor. All of the floors have been refinished, the kitchen remodeled, and bathrooms updated. Now they're ready to share the bounty of their hard work with you! A big thank you goes out to friends and family who have supported this project.

Tucked behind a stand of trees along Willows Road, the home is now named Seaview Manor.
“People need a place like this. This is a house that has to be shared,” Erica Vossler said while giving a tour in late December...Continue Reading
