Tranquil, Mid-Century Artist's Retreat with Deck & Patio - Walk to the Beach & Town

With a sleek, mid-century aesthetic not typically found at the beach, this beautiful home in a tranquil neighborhood of Manzanita will bring an enduring sense of calm to your next escape to the Northern Oregon Coast. Modeled after the renowned Coast Cabins, this home is owned by artists and musicians with long-standing ties to Manzanita, and it has been decorated with the artwork, books, and music that they themselves created or hold dear. So step inside and feel the love that has gone into every aspect of this home. The main living space is open, airy, and full of light, with windows that reach the ceiling and let in beautiful views of the surrounding evergreens. There are richly hued wood furnishings, accents, and cabinetry, as well as elegant, streamlined fixtures that contribute to the peaceful atmosphere. You can walk home from the beach to toss the day's swimsuits in the washer/dryer, and take a seat outside on the tree-lined patio that's warmed by a Rais fireplace. In the evening, bring a bottle of wine out to the elevated deck, prepare a homemade meal in the modern and well-appointed kitchenette (with a mini-fridge, a four-burner gas stove, a combination convection/microwave oven, and a dishwasher), and play your favorite soundtrack on the excellent stereo system. After dinner, you can curl up on the soft leather sofa and unwind with a favorite movie playing on cable, Netflix, or DVD/Blu-ray. What's nearby: This part of Manzanita, just up the hill from the beach, is delightfully quiet thanks to a general absence of car and foot traffic. It's beautifully wooded yet it also tends to be warmer and sunnier than the low-lying areas, which you'll still be able to reach on foot. The wide ocean beach is just over half a mile west, while Laneda Avenue - the town's main thoroughfare that's lined with charming eateries, shops, and galleries - is less than half a mile south.
