Set in the heart of Manzanita, 316 S 3rd St offered a rare combination of space, character, and location. Just three blocks from the beach and one block from downtown, this expansive mid-century classic provided the kind of walkable coastal lifestyle that continues to make Manzanita one of the Oregon Coast’s most beloved communities.
Built in 1946, the home carried the warmth and personality of its era while offering generous room for modern coastal living. Natural ¾-inch white oak hardwood floors ran throughout the home, while large picture windows, stylish built-ins, and two wood-burning fireplaces added to its enduring charm.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 3,111 square feet of living space, the home was made for gathering. Three separate living spaces on the lower level created room for family, guests, entertaining, games, media, or quiet retreat. Recent bathroom remodels added modern comfort, while ocean peeks from both floors provided a daily reminder of the beach just a few blocks away.
The property’s oversized double lot added another layer of appeal, offering privacy, outdoor inspiration, and room to enjoy the coastal setting. A 2-car garage, carport, driveway parking, and ample parking made the home especially practical for hosting and full-time use.
