Tucked among the trees in the sought-after Pacific Shores community, this charming beach cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and coastal living. Ideal as a starter home, vacation retreat, or peaceful getaway, the home lives larger than its footprint thanks to vaulted ceilings and an open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light from clerestory windows. Enjoy cozy evenings by the wood stove-new in 2022 with a blower for efficient heating-while well-insulated 2x6 construction helps retain warmth year-round. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features ample storage, a pantry, lazy Susan, and newer appliances including a built-in convection oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher (all approximately two years old). The spacious primary bedroom accommodates a king-size bed, offers generous closet space, and even a peek of the ocean-open the windows and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves. Step outside to enjoy ocean views from the back deck, or relax on the newly built front deck (2023). Private, deeded beach access is just one block away, making it easy to fully embrace coastal living. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a newer roof, windows, and water heater (2018), exterior paint (2021), garage door and opener (2021), and repaved driveway (2023) with ample parking. A backyard storage shed adds extra convenience. Located just minutes from Newport, this delightful coastal cottage is your opportunity to enjoy the best of Oregon beach living.
