Set on a quiet side street just half a block from the sand, 8895 Puffin Ln offered the kind of Manzanita beach location buyers dream about: close to the ocean, peaceful in feel, and designed to take advantage of coastal views and outdoor living.
The home’s reverse floor plan brought the main living spaces upstairs, where the living room and expansive upper deck captured beautiful ocean views. A slider from the dining area opened directly to the deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for meals, morning coffee, or evening time by the water. Inside, a beamed, vaulted wood ceiling added warmth and character while giving the living area an open, airy feel.
The primary bedroom, also on the main upper level, enjoyed views toward Neahkahnie Mountain, adding another layer of coastal scenery to the home’s setting. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1,140 square feet of living space, and an oversized 6,969-square-foot lot, the property offered a comfortable beach cottage footprint with room to enjoy the outdoors.
Two large decks created distinct outdoor living spaces. The upper deck took in the view, while the lower deck was protected from the wind and surrounded by trees — an inviting spot for quiet lounging, gathering, or even the possibility of a future hot tub. A garage and garden shed added practical storage for beach toys, tools, bikes, and gear.
Offered furnished and sold as-is, this Manzanita cottage gave buyers the opportunity to enjoy it just as they found it or bring their own vision for future updates.
